Notoglanidium boutchangai is a species of claroteid catfish.
Notoglanidium boutchangai can be found in the Ogooué River basin of Gabon and the Kouilou River basin in the Republic of the Congo.
Notoglanidium boutchangai is considered to be of least concern to becoming an endangered species. The main threats that negatively affect this species by decreasing its population in their habitat include deforestation for limber, gold mining, and the construction of dams. Even though there are threats, none of them are decreasing the population in a dramatic way. There are no conservation measures being done to help conserve the species. The common name of Notoglanidium boutchangai in French is Bambonga. [1]
Notoglanidium boutchangai is recorded to live in a freshwater environment. [4] They can be located in a tropical environment. [3] This species populates in rivers. [3]
Notoglanidium boutchangai is known to have a wide and flat head along with a rounded snout. The eyes are located on the backside of the head. The main color of this species is usually a reddish-brown color. [5]

Coptodon deckerti is a critically endangered species of fish in the cichlid family, endemic to Lake Ejagham in western Cameroon. It is threatened by pollution and sedimentation from human activities, and potentially also by emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the lake's bottom (compare Lake Nyos), although Ejagham is too shallow to contain very high amounts of this gas. A species of catfish from the genus Parauchenoglanis has recently been introduced to the lake, and this probably presents a serious threat to the endemic cichlids.
