''Copadichromis borleyi'' is a species of cichlid fish endemic to Lake Malawi in East Africa. The species is popular in the fishkeeping hobby where it is frequently kept in aquariums.〔Staeck W, Linke H (1996) African Cichlids II: Cichlids from East Africa. A handbook for their identification, care and breeding. Tetra Press. ISBN 1-56465-167-3〕〔Konings A (1997) ''Back to nature guide to Laek Malawi cichlids'' Druckhaus Beltz, Germany. ISBN 3-9805605-3-8〕 The species has numerous common names, including redfin hap and goldfin hap.〔〔 ==Description== ''C. borleyi'' is a relatively small cichlid, males grow to 13-16 centimetres (5–6 in) total length, while females are typically slightly smaller reaching 13 centimetres.〔〔〔Maréchal C (1991) ''Copadichromis''. p. 51-58.

Vol. 4.〕〔Konings A (2001) ''Malaŵi cichlids in their natural habitat'' 3rd Edn. Cichlid Press. USA. ISBN 0-9668255-3-5〕 In addition to these minor difference in size, the species displays marked sexual dimorphism with males displaying larger ventral fins marked with egg spots, light-blue edging to the dorsal and ventral fins, along with metallic blue colouration of the head, and yellow to red flanks. In contrast, females are silver-to-brown and display three black spots along their sides.〔 Juveniles are monomorphic and are coloured like the adult females.〔 Some intraspecific variation has been recorded with regard to colouration, these differently coloured forms are geographically restricted to certain localities in Lake Malawi.〔
