Lamprolgus congoensis is one of the more deep-bodied riverine species of Lamprolgus with the mean body depth being 25.2% of the standard length and the head is roughly one third of the standard length. Smaller fish have the forehead at a steeper angle than more mature fish. It is a sexually dimorphic species in which the males attain a larger size than the females and develop a fat-filled nuchal hump on the head, and have relatively longer fins than the females. The base body colouration is greyish lavender, shading to yellow on the belly, just to the rear of the base of the pectoral fin, along the junction of preoperculum and operculum, and around lower margin of orbit.
