Aplocheilichthys naivasha is an extinct species of lampeye fish native to Lake Naivasha,[citation needed] a freshwater lake in the eastern arm of the Kenyan Rift Valley.[1] This species is not well known as according to Seegers et al., Aplocheilichthys Naivasha went fully extinct and the species had yet to have a scientific description. It was thought to have gone extinct in the 1970s or 1980s due to competition or predation from other, introduced, species of fish.[2] Other influencing factors could have been poor water quality, water extraction, the growth of the human population near the lake, and other anthropogenic stresses. Due to a lack of understanding of the Naivasha lampeye, it has been reported under Haplochilichthys antinorri and Aplocheilichthys antinorri even though there are differences among these species.[2] The Aplocheilichthys Naivasha was also endemic to Kenya. It was restricted to Kenya and did not have a major geographic range. Since Naivasha’s natural habitat was freshwater lakes, there were not many options for where to settle in Kenya .
