Bathybatini is a tribe of cichlids endemic to Lake Tanganyika in Africa. They are mostly found in relatively deep waters and mainly feed on fish (Bathybates and Hemibates) or plankton (Trematocara).[1] They are mouthbrooders.[1]

This tribe is sometimes restricted to Bathybates, in which case Hemibates is in Hemibatini and Trematocara in Trematocarini.[2][3]
