The Lamprichthys tanganicanus are wonderful, in these scenes you can also see the wedding parades and perhaps I believe the spawning in the cracks of the rocks. Good day Pam

[@PamChin100]

They are fun to follow around! Thanks for watching ❤️

Thanks Pam. Your videos are always a pleasure to see. This is one of my absolute favorite fish.

Something I have noticed from Malawi vids is that the rocks have channels or scoops undulating through. (from the grazing Mbuna over millions of years is my guess?) Have you seen this phenomena in Tanganyika? Could be different hardness of rock... As always love your vids. 🙂

There are a lot of indentation markings on the rocks, and I believe these were formed when the rocks exploded and landed where they are today, many of these rocks are bigger than a house, sometimes the whole shoreline is lined with one big rock. So any cuts, or divots in the rocks were there before the fish. Sometimes you can see where the fish feed on the rocks leaving teeth/suction marks thru the algae, but I don't think they are grinding down the rocks.

@@PamChin100 th-cam.com/video/tnGbdSy8Qbg/w-d-xo.html In this video (Malawi) closeup of the rocks. Qualifyingly, I have never been there however when I look at the rocks they seem/appear to show the affects of millions of generations of mbuna grazing. That being said Tropheus seem to attack the rock differently then say M.Zebra Anyway this was a video that fooled me.

Ahh, okay see what you talking about and actually that is just a rough rock and there is sediment and algae on it, but those little dips and dives are not from the fish grazing on them. But food does get caught in those and I often see fish feeding in these larger cracks and divots in Lake T. too. These rocks are breaking up and moving around when they have earthqakes also, so it is not unusual to see weird shaped rocks in either lake. 😊❤️
