Lake Malawi Cichlids In The Wild Playlist
• Lake Malawi Cichlids I...
If I had to choose a favourite dive of the trip, Maingano would be the winner!
The water was crystal clear, an abundance of species and such a diversity of rock scapes to admire.
Watch out for the numerous MCAT/OB Mbuna, stunning haps and a huge catfish that gets a bit too close for comfort!
Thanks for watching and please feel free to share the video with like minded hobbyists.

when ppl ask why I always have so many rocks an caves in my tanks for my African cichlids, I will just show them this video, so they will understand why
most people on the internet would say this is to overcrowded need a bigger tank lol
Scottie_ R_Jr haha oath
@@scottie706 no lol
The rocks barely have an hiding areas cuz there so clumped and stacked.
One of the most amazing and beautiful freshwater habitats on the planet! I've kept hundreds of these fish over my lifetime and can't wait to keep them again on a much larger scale! Seeing them in their natural environment like this makes me dream of a giant tank (Thousands of gallons at least) where I can truly see their natural behavior! Love this, thanks so much for sharing!

Steven Wyatt Thanks Steven
***** which video is that?
Which ob mbuna was that? I had never Seen before a ob mbuna like that.. and what a giant catfsih wow.. how long think was there?
16:15 comes the huge Catfish...if anyone cares! Also, I wonder if that's the catfish Bagrus meridionalis that Psuedo Crabro (Bumblebee cichlid) live among?!? I know this is an old video...but a reply would be amazing!
Chrystal clear ?
Complimenti. Finalmente un uomo saggio che non mette la musica di sottofondo facendoci apprezzare l'essenza della natura. 🔝🇮🇹
This is beautiful. And for fresh water, the visibility is fantastic.
Thanks so much for this video. I could watch this for hours. One of the things that stands out to me is the great debate on OB cichlids, and cross breeding being un-natural. Well, there they are. Stunning fish, in their natural environment. Amazing ...
mbuna have the natural OB gene. Haps and peacocks do not
love this, hate how theres not many videos of cichlids out there. Cichlids over marine fish any day lol.
Hahahaha...5mths ago and I'm responding to you responding to a comment 3yrs ago! But thanks for the clarification SMDH!!
Lol as much as I love fresh water marine fish trump fresh water any day 🤷🏽♂️
Fly Crippin Please, Saltwater keepers don't even care about fish it's all coral coral coral 😴..... & I've kept both saltwater & freshwater ... and freshwater have way more personality they're crazy af
@@eve7568 and less maintenance without spending a car on a fish tank
@@pablomuzzobar8940 now a days fishtank are cheap for bot h fresh & salt but yeah corals is what makes salt more expensive which is why I find them so boring 😂
I always heard that OB cichlids were only captive bred. There is one at 5:01 hmm
OB Peacocks only in Captivity not the Genus of the Mbuna
OB Peacocks don't exist in nature, they're mbuna cross
Jaram się na ten biotop ale równie piękny jest Amazonki.
Dwa różne biotopy ale niesamowicie piękne
15:20 what a beauty !!!!
The two of them. Yup. Colours. Vivid. Sky Blue says "get away"
I was looking for this comment man. that cichlid is insaaane. The pattern and the colors. Very unique combination of natural wild breeding.
What kind is it?
But hybrid cichlids dont exist inthe wild. FAKE NEWS
This is incredible Marc! I can't believe I'm just watching this now. I hope your trip went surpurbly! So excited you got to go!
Best wishes!
Beutiful Thanks for sharing my friend👍😊RiteshCT
Such awesome footage.. Thanks for sharing!
Hey John it's been 6 years, how you doin
How big is this tank?
😂
.... .almost the size of a large lake. 😋😅
A few million gallons
about 3 gallons.
I don't know but I think they're overstocked and there isn't even a FILTER on this tank! They didn't cycle it! They're gonna kill all their fish. Bad fish owners, thumbs down👎
great video of the underwater activities of African Cichlids.i am watching this with three of my Cichlids as i type.
Wow such beautiful fish
After seeing all these fish in the wild, I have a feeling you are going to have a craving for a larger tank!
Great Video Thanks!
how can somebody "thumb down" this video?
They didn't like it
@@DiorskiePrepossessing I guess they hate African cichlids
Probably vegans
More great footage Marc! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Brian.
Awesome mbunas footage.
I watched this video to see wild Labidochromis freibergi, and yes, at the end when you came back to the surface, I finally saw some :-) THX
16:30, sounds like a fish attacked you lol! Great footage :)
This is incredible footage. This is my dream dive here.
the malawi dives are so beuatiful. looks like a marine dive minus coral
Great video! That water seems to be extremely fresh ( clean )
Awesome video, you still have more dive sites to upload right? I'm waiting for Mara Rocks
Yes around 10 more
Some stunning Mcat/OB on this video. Great footage Marc.
Cheers Andy, I wasn't messing about the MCATS; )
Glorious!
Wow great video haven't seen a good underwater vid of malawi since jewels of the rift. You show all the good stuff the blueberry ob, blue neons and a bunch more thanks for sharing I must share this!
Many thanks Brian.
Amazing video! Thank you. I see no plants! I guess putting a plant in my cichlid tank was not such a good idea then?
Other parts of the lake do have some plants. Besides, you can do whatever you want in your tank. Plants have good benefits for your tank if they survive your fish.
That is a lot of bottom time! thanks for the film clip! great viz too!
Thanks I actually cut 30 mins of footage out
Nice!!! use it for another film clip! I saw the water temp video clip... going take your advice.
@ 1:50 territorial male guarding his spot.well coloured up.
Fantastic dive....beautiful video.
I think this tank is overstocked! Do you have a sump?
Awesome...lots of mbuna here....now I understand why Pulpican are a common import. looked to be a variety of BB Zebra with more blue then black here....need to do some research. Wicked video and those OB's are unreal....need to se some like this around here.
Very cool, nice footage
Superb video Marc, so envious of u!:-) would you consider sound a comentry on these amazing lake videos? So lucky to have someone like you who is so keen to share your knowledge & help us cichlid fans. Cheers mate!

Thanks for sharing.
Amazing footage! Need an even bigger tank now lol
Best vídeo so far! Mbunas paradise ! Didnt see no híbrids.. And also, I think no Metriaclima sp. "membe deep", did you see one Mark?
Luis Dias I can't recall seeing one. I've watched the footage back numerous times. Thanks for watching.
Very cool. Thanks for the post!
that is great! thank you for sharing
Beautiful video, Maingano is my favorite site. What fish is yellow at 4:53? and is it possible that at 30:08 there is a Labeotropheus trewavasae? Thank you
Theres some nice fish in your video, but Ive never seen them on the market, like the all black fish with the white steak. I sure people would go crazy for this...
Awesome video!👍💖
Great film !
its like heaven 😍😍😍
Relaxing!!
What are the black cichlids that are everywhere in the video I have a group of them in my tank and they breed like crazy nobody knows what they are and as the males got older they turned a little blue
A little late but they're probably acei cichlids
Sulfer heads
What is the fish with the yellow face at around 13:00
Red face Mack
After watching this video, seeing the free swimming beautiful fish, anyone thinking that his/hers home aquarium is ’big’, should re-consider the matter!
friggin Awesome!!!
can any 1 please explain what do they eat in wild,i don't think there is enough food there,i have some of tyhem in my aquarium and i give them pellet's so i am curious?
shahrukh agha algae from the rocks
Totally awesome 💜💕💙
Are you allowed to freely catch Cichlid fish there? There are so many nice fish that are tempting to catch!
i think that wouldnt be easy but its really tempting.
Sometimes i even dreamed of catching malawi cichlids whilr I was sleeping😅
@@jonatanohneh5589 Haha! Me too, I used to hate waking up from those dreams empty handed.
wow - i love Cichlids - VERY NICE VIDEO THANK=S
dang that's cold
this is why i now have 36 cihclids and more :P like catfish and CLOWNS :P
I saw a OB Peacock. I thought they were tank raised hybrids and did not exist as hybrids in the wild?
No OB peacock in this video John. I'm almost 100% there is no OB peacocks in the wild.
👍🏆
What's the lowest temperature those fish can handle ?
I can’t hear the fish at all over the gurgling of Aqua Vader here
wow wow wow!!!
nice vid theres a white fish with black spots which ones that?
Gorgeous fish in this video, anyone know the species of catfish at 16:19? Looks like a clarius species.
What are those on the rocks? Seeming like worms
Awesome good job :))
¸¸.•*¨*🐬
looks awesome^^ :)
cool man love the vid
Are some of them Oscar cichlids I'm seeing,
12：27 is that a boadzulu or other Zebra
we're There any peacocks in this footage or just mbunas and haps
I would like to get 80 Africans in an aquarium of 450 liters or 125 gallons, if you can? would you recommend?
Thank you
Love this video this is just proof for those hybrid haters they do cross breed in the wild love it :)
What fish are you talking about?
African Cichlid Hub
He doesn't know what he is talking about and i bet he is referring to OB fish...tss tss
OB peacocks in the hobby are man made fish (You don't see them in the wild) OB/MCAT Mbuna are a natural occurrence in the wild. A morph so to speak. MCAT Mbuna male are quite rare.
African Cichlid Hub thank you for clearing things up :)
Удивительное озеро. Ни травинки, а рыб огромное количество! Утонешь и от тебя ничего не оставят 😂!
These rocks are cleaner than my aquarium ones, there doesnt seem to be much food for them.
Does anyone know where he is now ?
Why so many stone under water? I heard they said lake Malawi is the size of Canbarra
how cold is the water I'm scuba diving there in a few days
