Ctenochromis horei is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. Its natural habitats are freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, and inland deltas. Dominant males have been found to defend a spawning female from other males in the area.
Large individuals, which are classified as being greater than 60 millimeters long, have black spots on their heads. Males, while foraging, show a distinct orange spot that is located on the anal fin to females as a courtship display.
Maximum total length for males is 185 millimeters and 140 millimeters for females.
