I was very lucky to witness and film the unique hunting behaviour of the Nimbochromis Livingstonii, this was captured at Lion's Cove. Rarely witnessed in the wild let alone filmed.
The other diver was my dive buddy Kathy from Australia.

So freaking cool. What an experience it most had been to go to lake malawi!!
Wow! I was in awe thinking it was some type of flat cichlid. When it swam off I was like - no way! Good job mate, I'd love to see these magnificent creature's in their natural habitat... special, feel privileged to share in the moment
Your dive footage is so awesome. I find myself holding my breath while watching. So cool. Thanks
Way cool! 😃👍 I wish Dover would Have stayed further to spectate The livingstonii catch a fish...
Awesome video Marc!
THAT is awesome! Always wanted to see this!
Amazing footage I've read about this before. I kept a few for years as well . But I've never seen this before. Thanks for sharing Marc.
+Rab Anderson My pleasure
what an excellent video its so rare to get a chance to see these fish we keep in the wild and the behavior that is natural for them ...bravo...
I really enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.Ted
just adopted one from a family with 2 kids and to think this thing should be in a lake in the middle of africa and not a 50 gallon is crazy. the one i have is MUCH darker but its because of the environment its kept. luckily i found someone who can adopt it from me with a giant tank to give this chonker a bigger home and some company. for the week or 2 i get to keep this animal its pretty cool.
awesome video mate👍
Great. Love Nimbo but I miss a few cm to keep him. Thanks so much, that I could see it. Good luck.
Very interesting, good catch!
Marc!!! Welcome back. I know this is how they hunt but I can't say I have seen t before. Thanks.
Thank you! I should be a lot more active this year.
+African Cichlid Hub. I look forward to your videos.

+dazmastergt Not that I can see Daz
Beautiful video...
Love when my fish does this in the tank! Although I have never actually seen him lay on his side. He spreads his fins and goes completely motionless.
just subscribed wow awesome footage
+Aquafinnz Thank you for subscribing

Good timing and eye - such a unique behavior.
+Brian Stalter Turned to my left at the right time. Thanks for watching
where have you gone I just watched your Channel and have been binge watching for 3 days now. I'd like to subscribe but I just purged my subscription list of all in active vlogers. Are you going to be doing more video's or is what I see what I get?
Great capture
+Mbuna Marcus - Aquariums, Cichlids and More Cheers Marcu
had mine do similar quite often... tho never flat...more like 45degree angle
lovely footage...
+Gary shaw Thanks Gary
i have a venustus and he does the same thing it is fascinating
EPICNESS!
Very nice!
Thank you
Hope you are making a come back soon
Awesome video!!! made me laugh seeing this guy play dead my Livingstonii has done the same thing every time i release a new batch of young bucks i wish they stayed looking like the grim reaper love their color changing abilities
I have a 55 gallon tank with 8 medium sized cichlids. My first question is how many more cichlids can I put into the tank, and can I put a crayfish into the tank? Thanks

Would love to see a vid of how your tank is doing . I miss those videos of your tank
+carpet180 I understand, I get asked multiple times on a daily basis. I'm currently in the process of sorting some new stock out for the tank. Soon I promise.
+African Cichlid Hub Sounds good thanks !
what kind of him?
Awesome footage mate! :-D
Whoever clicked unlike on this...I hope they s#it a cactus soon! ;-)
Where u gone ?
My god .. this fish is insane 😂😂😂
brilliant
Mine like to do that too, but he prefers to lay in a hole in big rock i have in my tank. He blends right in. The little guy in your vid might want to choose better background for laying, but i guess you do not need camouflage if other fish think your dead.
He lays there so smaller fish investigate. He then eats them quickly. That’s why it’s called hunting behaviour It’s an ambush predator
behavior could lead to evolution of flounders?
Cute!
lovely footis
Makes me want a livingstoni, very cool behavior and patyerns!
+FortWayne Fishtanks Can be lethal in mixed tank though :)
Lol true
@@AfricanCichlidHub true I had a 7 inch one that killed about 9 fish. Will eat anything smaller and slower
Play dead LOL! Great video !
I really thought it was death lol cheers
did I miss something I didn't see him catch a fish
Nice! Very crafty. Pretend to be dead then BAM!
The only species in the lake that does it 👍
+African Cichlid Hub Don't N. venustus do it?
im pretty sure its just the Livingstonii that play dead like this
WHAT DO THEY HUNT????? Other cichlids???
Yeah
smaller fish
Poor little guy was just tuckered out and needed a nap, but these two weird guys wouldn't quit bothering him!
+De Luth Best comment I've had on one of my video's for a long time ...
+African Cichlid Hub I'm just happy to see a new video from you, it has been a while. Thanks! My Africans were pressed against the glass and pushing each other trying to watch the video.
+De Luth Yeah sorry for the lack of uploads. I plan on being active on 2016!
first time mine did that in tank I freaked out cuz I thought he had died.
are african cichlids from african?
+Scolopendra Exotics yep....this lake is lake malawi in east africa.
What about your tank, waiting to see it soon.
That is fucking awesome aye it's like a massive community well it is a massive community sorry for cursing but that is amazing soooooo awesome look at all of them I have a 15cm livingstoni in my tank
This tank is way too small.
😂😂😂
I want to swim with my fish
Me too
I almost flushed mine cause of this
+Marin Bandalo They can be a nightmare in captivity
+African Cichlid Hub that's why I gave mine away
Playing dead, solid strategy!
👍
Stay Scheming
Awesome!
Thank you for watching
