Schwetzochromis neodon is a species of rheophilic cichlid endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where it is only known from the Fwa River in the Congo Basin. It can reach a length of 10.7 centimetres (4.2 in) SL.[2] It is currently the only known member of its genus, but several others that formerly were included have been moved to Orthochromis.[3]
