Probably the best source would be:
Pilsbry, H.A. & J. Bequaert. 1927. The aquatic mollusks of the Belgian
Congo, with a geographical and ecological account of Congo malacology.
Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 53: 69-602, pls. 10-77.
There is a nice section on Lake Tangayika, as well as a list of species.
This is a very important work and not hard to obtain from used book
dealers. There is a companion volume on terrestrial snails of the Congo.
