Limnochromis abeelei is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it occurs in deeper waters in the southern portion of the lake. This species can reach a length of 23.5 centimetres (9.3 in) TL.[3] Some authorities place this species in the genus Greenwoodochromis.[4] The specific name honours the Belgian colonial administrator M.M. van den Abeele who supported the Belgian Hydrobiological Mission to Lake Tanganyika (1946-1947), on which type was collected.[5]
