Etymology: Haplochromis: Greek, Haploos = single + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); paradoxus: From the Greek 'paradoxos', meaning 'contrary to expectation, incredible'; the species name is a double entendre, in reference to the strange appearance of the fishes, especially their strongly oblique gape and lower jaw, and to their seemingly paradoxical zoogeographical situation (Ref. 51927).

背棘 (总数) : 14 - 16; 背的软条 (总数) : 9 - 11; 臀棘: 3; 臀鳍软条: 8 - 9; 脊椎骨: 29 - 30. Diagnosis: Haplochromis paradoxus differs from all known paedophagous species of Haplochromis of the Lake Edward system by its more numerous outer teeth, 36-65 vs. 16-35, that are strongly recurved and closely set in long tooth bands (Ref. 127594). It is further distinct from H. gracilifur and H. molossus by a longer snout, 28.7-36.0% of head length vs. 24.0-26.7% and 25.1-30.7%, respectively, and longer head, 32.2-36.2% of standard length vs. 29.8-30.7% and 29.5-32.0%, respectively (Ref. 127594). It differs from H. taurinus by its smaller eyes, 25.3-32.1% of head length vs. 32.9-40.2%, and from H. relictidens by its more slender head, 41.7-51.2% of head length vs. 47.7-54.7% (Ref. 127594). Mature males dorsally grey to bluish and ventrally intense yellow vs. different colour patterns in other paedophages (Ref. 127594). Haplochromis paradoxus can be distinguished from piscivorous sensu stricto species from Lake Edward system by its small teeth with very strongly recurved necks and short, bluntly pointed, and usually weakly tricuspid crowns vs. larger, straight to recurved, and acutely pointed teeth in piscivores; its lips are slightly thickened, and its maxillae reach posteriorly before vertical through anterior edge of eyes vs. lips are not thickened and maxilla generally exceed this point in piscivorous species (Ref. 127594). It's a haplochromine species with a strongly oblique gape and lower jaw, in connection with a pronounced concavity in the outline of the head in front of the eye (Ref. 51927). It is distinguished from members of the genus Pyxichromis by a lower body depth, 31.5-33.5% of standard length vs. 35-42%; a lower cheek, 20-24% of head length vs. 24-32%; and the dentition of the oral jaws consisting of bicuspid and tricuspid teeth in both jaws (Ref. 51927).
一个单色的种具有一个极倾斜口裂与下颌, 在连接中在眼睛前方中的头部的轮廓中具有一个明显的凹洼.(参考文献 51927) 它是双颚内与包含二头齿与三尖齿的一个身体下半部深度 (31.5-33.5% SL vs.35-42), 一个低的颊 (20-24% HL vs.24-32) 与口部颚的生齿的本属 Pyxichromis 的其他成员区分。 (参考文献 51927) 身体中等细长的.(参考文献 51927) 吻部的背面接近水平的.(参考文献 51927) 嘴 isognathous; 唇些微地粗的。 (参考文献 51927) 纵向的线鳞片: 32-33,20-21个上面的侧线鳞片与 10-12 中央侧线鳞片.(参考文献 51927) 头部的侧线孔不被增大, 在眶下骨与泪骨上的孔一般增大了。 (参考文献 51927) 鳃盖除了鳃盖斑块以外完全覆盖着鳞片, 鳞片圆形的.(参考文献 51927)
