Thanks 🙏

Agree Fantastic country how I also visited several times and filmed beautiful cichlids.

Thanks Jim keep tuned, more to come of Central America cichlids.

@@sergiocorrea1235 Thanks

@@dudley0826 Thanks more to come.

Microfauna, fry, insects and other small things that drop on the surface, decaying plant matter, etc!

Skąd tam rybki się wzięły skoro powstało z pęknietych płyt tektonicznych to jezioro?

​@@HoytKamishglony porastające kamienie też?

Al cichlids have adapted their own feeding behaviour some feed on plankton some on algae and other on insects ore young fish. There are even two species in the lake how feed only on scales of other cichlids.

Before the tectonic plates has shift the great Congo drainage flows trough where finally the cracks start and filled the lake and brought fish in the lake.

Most of the time in some deeper water such as Acapoeta tanganicae

@cichlidsinthewild Thank you. Let me look up that name.

@@cichlidsinthewild Have you ever filmed Labeobarbus leleupanus in their habitat?

Yep correct, Lamprichthys tanganicanus is the largest African Killifish.

Thanks

Yes it’s always great to see your favourite cichlid in their natural behaviour and habitat. Thanks for your compliment.

Michel this is your choice and with many mores people and yes they are very colourful. There are several videos in my channel list where you can enjoy your favourite Malawi cichlids.

Haha Some people complaining that my vids are to short. I am happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks

This sort of videos provides a much more detailed view and information about the whole adventure, logistic, fish habitat, struggles, people, etc... I really enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you once again!

@@apanhaesta Thanks again,

Thanks

Thanks, yes LT habitats do not only contain out of rock.

@@cichlidsinthewild Yes but most people will concentrate on them you went the other way, Thank you for that 🙂

Great you look at those details, and you enjoyed them.

Great you enjoyed your favourite species.

Thanks Sergio

Hi jeil, this is Cyathopharynx foae. Cyathopharynx furcifer should occur in the south of the lake according the specialist.

and crocs ;)

@@mellissadalby1402 I have them on video nice fish too see them in their natural habitat

@@billscorner404 thanks, great you enjoyed the video.

You were lucky, I have seen only one snake and was surging for crocks to get them on video in 50 dives and have not seen one.

@@cichlidsinthewild It must be location specific. I have always carried three foot stick with me on all dives. Those are terrestrial snakes so it must be the habitat above the water which determines their presence. Luckily they do not see under water. When they were swimming right at me, I just tapped them with my stick to change their direction. Crocodiles are tricky. At the time I was there, local woman got attacked in mid day washing her cloth. I personally did not see one there but i trust locals who really do not go in the water. They know. Similar situation is is with Hippos. I have seen them almost daily on the land and marching at the bottom of the lake. But nowhere else. One has to be careful. Plenty of people die killed by crocks and Hippos. I learned to speak to locals about the potential dangers. They always know. On Lake Malawi there is Island when nobody is messing around with. i wanted to dive there but i was warned not to. So I did not. Crocks. although any time i rode a boat by it i never seen one. I trusted to locals.

Lots and lots of Eretmodus Cyanostictus

Thanks Maltes, fine you enjoyed the video.

Nice species I had them as well for many years

Thanks, yes with the mustache he is match more hansom 😂😊

Yes is indeed not easy but certainly doable. Take young fish in a plastic bag, air them with pumps and keep them cool. For importing, have it inspected by a veterinarian for an import permit. We have made so many trips to central America and Africa and collected our fish. My friend Michel still organizes collecting trips to Cameroon. Check on FB, WAC

@@cichlidsinthewild I was not talking about couple of fish for hobbyist.Years back there was African shipper from that area. European at the receiving end were seeing hundreds of dead fish. Eventually it stopped. They just do not know. I myself was collecting on malawi and participate for short time on Tanganyika as well. Even with expertise of us who know there were some disastrous events. Personaly I have tryed to collect some rare killiefish in collaboration with locals. Did not work out and it was only few kilometers from the city with perfect road. Number of problems one could not predict was around every corner.

Dankjewel Patrick, fijn dat je het een leuke video vond.

Vielen Dank und ich freue mich, dass dir das Video gefallen hat.

Thanks, great you enjoyed my videos.

Thanks, more to come. But if you ever have the chance to travel you’re self Don't doubt especially Central America

Hi Mbuna, yes this is a very nice variant, but check also Alfari from the Rio Calderon how you can find in the video of the Convict that’s also a very nice variant. Thanks for your compliment from the video of A. septemfaciata

Thanks Krol I am happy you enjoyed the video. Best regards

Thanks sir for your interest. But this is more or less a hobby, and a way to bring some information to the aquarist how some species of cichlids live in their natural habitat. So it is not to make money out of it. Best regards Hans

So, you will not want?

No thanks sir. It would be interesting if I would upload every week a video but I don’t have time for that. Once in a while I will upload a video. So money wise is that not interesting. Sorry but no. Thanks

I understand sir. Thank you very much

Danke.
