Might be a really obvious Q.... but, what is "hap" and why does it always seem to be associated with malawi lake cichlids. Maybe i just notice it when it comes to them but regardless can some one tell me where the hap comes in?
Please explain to me what Hap is?

Haplochromis is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cichlidae. It has been used as the default "wastebin taxon" for Pseudocrenilabrinae cichlids of the East African Rift, and as such became the "largest" fish "genus". Many of these cichlids are popular aquarium fishes; like similar Haplochromini they are known as "haplos", "happies" or "haps" among aquarium enthusiasts.
