The four-spotted barb is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae.
Barbus sp. 'Nzoia' is an undescribed but distinct freshwater fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It was first reported in 1999. A small African barb, it is provisionally assigned to the genus Barbus, but probably belongs – like similar species – in another genus.
Barbus sp. 'Nzoia 2' is an undescribed but distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It was first reported in 1999. A small African barb, it is provisionally assigned to the genus Barbus, but probably belongs – like similar species – in another genus.
Barbus sp. 'Pangani' is an undescribed but distinct freshwater fish species in the family Cyprinidae. Apparently a close relative of the East African red-finned barb, it is currently under study for its formal description. Until then, this small African barb is provisionally assigned to the genus Barbus, but probably belongs – like "B." apleurogramma – in another genus.

The Pangani longclaw is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae, which includes the pipits and wagtails. It is found in Tanzania, Kenya and Somalia. The bird's natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
The Pangani suckermouth is a species of upside-down catfish native to Kenya and Tanzania. This species grows to a length of 7 centimetres (2.8 in) SL.
Ctenochromis pectoralis, the Pangani haplo, is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It was originally characterized in the Pangani River of Tanzania, and may also be present in Kenya. It is listed as extinct by IUCN as a result of a 1996 evaluation, but this appears to be incorrect. A more recent IUCN publication stated that this species is not endangered in any way.
Oreochromis esculentus, the Singida tilapia or Graham's tilapia, is a species of cichlid endemic to the Lake Victoria basin, including some of its satellite lakes such as Kyoga, in Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. Its common name refers to Lake Singida, but this population is the result of an introduction that happened in the 1950s. This fish is highly valued by local fishermen, who know it as ngege.
Oreochromis jipe, the Jipe tilapia, is a critically endangered species of cichlid fish native to Kenya and Tanzania, where it is restricted to Lake Jipe and the Pangani River. The population in the Pangani River shows some morphological differences compared to the population in Lake Jipe, and it is sometimes recognized as a separate species, the Pangani tilapia. Whether regarded as one or two species, the Jipe–Pangani tilapia forms a species flock with the threatened Lake Chala tilapia from the same general region of Kenya and Tanzania.
Oreochromis korogwe is a species of cichlid native to Kenya and Tanzania, where it occurs in the Pangani River system, as well as the Zigi River. This species can reach a standard length of 20.8 cm (8.2 in).
Synodontis punctulatus is a species of upside-down catfish native to Ethiopia, Somalia and Tanzania where it is found in the Pangani and Shebelle Rivers. This species grows to a length of 25 centimetres (9.8 in) TL.
The River Lumi is located in Rombo District, Kilimanjaro in northereast Tanzania and a small part in southern Kenya in Coast Province. It originates on the east side of Mawenzi peak on the east side of, and flows so close to the River Rombo as almost to form a fork. The Lumi, however, maintains its southerly direction, and may thus be said to represent the upper course of the Ruvu, one of tho two main sources of the Pangani River. It flows around the Lake Chala and the Taveta town in the west and empties into the Lake Jipe. The fish species Barbus sp. 'Pangani' has only been found in the river's N'joro Springs, situated in the upper Pangani River drainage basin.
The Pangani River (pin-gi'nee) is a major river of northeastern Tanzania. It has two main sources: the Ruvu, which rises as Lumi at Kilimanjaro, passes through Lake Jipe, and empties into the Nyumba ya Mungu Reservoir, and the Kikuletwa, coming from the west and mainly fed by Mount Meru in Arusha Region, which also enters into the Nyumba ya Mungu Reservoir in Kilimanjaro Region. Just after leaving the reservoir the stream becomes the main Pangani, which empties into the Indian Ocean in Tanga Region at the Tangan port town of Pangani.
Astatotilapia bloyeti is a species of haplochromine cichlid from the coastal river systems of Tanzania. Reports from other areas of Africa are considered to refer to related species. The IUCN considers it to be endemic to the Pangani River and includes Kenya in its range. This species taxonomic status is uncertain and some authorities place it in the genus Haplochromis while others retain it in Astatotilapia. This taxonomic uncertainty has led the IUCN to classify this species conservation status as Data Deficient. The specific name honours the collector of the type, Capitaine A. Bloyet, chief of the French research station at "Kandôa, Tanzania".
