Nimbochromis linni is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi where it prefers areas with rocky substrates, though it occasionally enters intermediate habitats. This species can reach a length of 25 centimetres (9.8 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours D. Wayne Linn of the Fisheries Office in Malawi, whose help to Herbert R. Axelrod made his field trip to Lake Malawi possible.[3]
