Hi Hans! Your underwater research and images are spectacular. I really like these intermediate and cichlid habitats. That catfish that was on some male's nest in the night was really special. The night has its charm and you can also see predators. What camera do you have in your underwater case? I also see an illuminator and ttl flash? Have a nice weekend
Hi Marco thanks for your compliment. Yep to get that catfish in such a way in front of your camera is a present. I do not have a special professional camera in my underwater housing, it's a Canon legria HD. And I do not use flashlights only a video light from Mangrove, the same brand as my underwater housing. And a small Lume Cube light for in the shallow rivers, Best regards.
@@cichlidsinthewild Thanks for the info Hans! I must say that they are excellent shots, now I don't know this Canon model whether reflex or mirrorless or compact. I have a friend who also shoots macro or environmental videos and has a diving site in Anilao in the Philippines. He often spoke to me about the Orca torch brand lights and flashes. I also contacted the manufacturer and they are excellent products.
Marco the camera is just a video camera HF s27 yep I know the Orca torch but as I told you I used my lights from Mangrove the same as my underwater housing.
in late eighties lots of fish came out of that compound. The owner quit because some health issues. So they say. Pretty brave to snorkel of the beach. So many crocodiles on the lake. I have never entered water on foot on the Lake Tanganyika They will attack in middle of the day.
Hi Charles yes a lot of fish came out of that area, it came from Toby's lodge and yes he had an accident and the export stopped. I have made quite some dives in the lake as well but have never encountered a crock even I looked sometimes for them to get them on video. The mainly occurs in the river deltas. best regards

Hey Hans, can we expect some new Video from the northern Part of Lake Malawi?
What a beautiful habitat, inhabitants of rocky, and sandy areas side by side. Also, don't be afraid to put plants in your Tanganyika tank. 😉
Lovely little cichlids. Their habitats seem to be the barren rocky areas, almost desert looking, without any greeneries to hide from predators.
Yes they are. They breed in colonies and are therefore strong together against predators. Thanks for your nice comment.
What an amazing video. Well done!
Thanks NYGOLD, more to come.
The diversity is amazing.
I had never heard of "scale eaters" before.
