Laciris pelagica is a species of poeciliid found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. It is endemic to Lake Edward where it is found near the surface in open water. This species grows to a total length of 8 cm (3.1 in). It was formerly included in Micropanchax, but recently, authorities have moved it to the monotypic genus Laciris.[1]
