This study was conducted to determine length-weight relationship and condition factor (K) of two cyprinid Enteromius macrops and Enteromius leonensis. Fish sampling was carried out in Kogon and Tinguilint Rivers basins (Republic of Guinea) between Novembers 17th , 2013 and December 07th , 2013. Values of allometric coefficient b obtained from the length-weight relationships (LWRs) of E. macrops were 3.355 in Kogon and 3.241in Tinguilinta and those of E.leonensis were 2.877 in Kogon and 3.585.Analyses showed that E.macropshas a positive allometric growth in the two basins whereas E.leonensisdisplayed an isometric growth in the Kogon basin and a positive allometric growth in Tinguilinta. Studies on these fishes condition factor (K) showed that Enteromius species from the Tinguilinta basin had better condition compared to those from Kogon.
