Stomatepia mongo, the mongo, is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo in western Cameroon. It can reach a length of 10.3 centimetres (4.1 in) SL.[2] This species is seriously threatened by pollution and sedimentation due to human activities. It is potentially also threatened by large emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the lake's bottom (compare Lake Nyos),[1] although studies indicate that Barombo Mbo lacks excess amounts of this gas.[3] Even compared to other cichlids that are endemic Lake Barombi Mbo, Stomatepia mongo is a very rare species.[4]

Very little is known about its behavior, but it has been seen swimming near the bottom, apparently looking for small prey items in the detritus or sand. It sometimes occurs in small groups.[4]

Stomatepia mongo, noto anche semplicemente come Mongo, è una specie di ciclidi haplochromini endemica del Lago Barombi Mbo nel Camerun occidentale. Può raggiungere una lunghezza di 10,3 centimetri (4,1 in) SL . Questa specie è seriamente minacciata dall'inquinamento e dalla sedimentazione dovuta alle attività umane. È potenzialmente minacciata anche da grandi emissioni di anidride carbonica (CO2) dal fondo del lago (vedi lago Nyos), [1] sebbene gli studi indichino che a Barombo Mbo non siano presenti quantità eccessive di questo gas.[3] Anche rispetto ad altri ciclidi endemici del Lago Barombi Mbo, Stomatepia mongo è una specie molto rara.
