bitte schön danke schön

Thanks

I am happy you enjoyed it, thanks for the compliment.

Yes they are. They breed in colonies and are therefore strong together against predators. Thanks for your nice comment.

Thanks Becket, fine you enjoyed it.

From Dare-salaam you fly to Sumbawanga where you can book several hotels Countrie hotel contact and make reservation by Liemba beach resort how will arrange transportation aswell. Liemba beach resort contact information you find on internet. Have fun

Thanks for your comment, that aquatic invasive plant is Hydrilla verticillata. I found them in several rivers in CR.

@@cichlidsinthewild Thank you very much. I keep biotope aquariums and have a set up based on the San Carlos River basin in CR.

Thanks DW, yes that problem you see everywhere. In Costa Rica the same along the banana plantation’s the removed the low vegetation so the rainwater has a free play with the soil. But anyhow I have seen it wurse. I still have a longer movie from Ghana and Cameroon how I also will place on my account. In that movie you will see match more of this beautiful river and many more rivers around the country. Best regards and thanks again for your positive comment. 👍

Thanks Fishtory for your compliment, and good to hear you enjoyed the video.👍

Thanks social campus 👍

Thanks Denis.👍

Thanks AMX yes you did indeed spot P. dovi.

@@cichlidsinthewild do you have videos documented on p.dovii

The former two to my knowledge have not been found in the wild. The "honduran red point" variant was collected in 1989. In my own personal research and experimentation I have found that the gene that makes them blue is a polygenic (for the most part recessive) mutation, similar to that found in the electric blue acaras. I believe they happened to find a small population of these recessive blue individuals, not as extreme as they are now, but enough to stand out and be collected, and later be bred into what they are today. This "true" honduran red point was originally collected from the Rio los almendros, which is a tributary of the Rio patuca that runs through the town of Danli (hence where you will see "rio danli" thrown around).

Thank you, I only have seen one in the Rio Cocotis typelocatie of C. Rythisma, but I have seen many in Panama.

Thanks Kasper, hopefully you enjoyed the full video.

@@cichlidsinthewild I most certainly did, and took the liberty to share it on a national aquarium page on Facebook. I will be looking into more of your videos here on CZcams.

Thanks there is a lot of inspiration to find for aquarist’s to mimic a beautiful habitat. And that’s my intention with this channel.

Thanks allot Marco. I am happy you enjoyed the video.😊

Thank you for your nice comment. That location is stil in the Rio Cocotis, just a site pool. This location is the type locality of A. myrnae but more of this species in an other video.

​@@cichlidsinthewildThat's very interesting! I'm very interested in that video, since I'm building a biotope around the A. Myrnae. Is that video in making, and not released, or somewhere else on the web I haven't found?

@@dnbiotopesto edit a video of A. Myrnae is on my list. But the habitat of A.myrnae is the same as the habitat of the convict out of the Rio Cocotis. But in the near future I will make a video of A.myrnae

Do you have any data on the Rio Cocotis, by the way?

If you mean waterparameters, no I don’t.

Thanks Matt, I am happy you enjoyed the video.

Yes AZ there is a lot of work in a video like this, but feels good with all this nice comments. And I hope people will find inspiration for setting up their aquarium. Thank you aswell.

Wow nice comment, thanks allot. Feels good after 3 months of work.

Thanks Twas, I hope with this video that the aquarists will find inspiration to mimic a beautiful habitat for their beloved cichlids.

Thanks, 🙏

Thanks Erik. I hope you will enjoy it.

At Wikipedia you find your answer. Check Lake Tanganyika, Water characteristics. The water temperature is at that depth nearly the same. Below 150 meter is no oxygen in the water and therefore no fish check Wikipedia

Dankjewel

I am happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks

Thanks

Thanks Stephen.

Hi Geoff, the evolution in the lake is remarkable. In the dept you find piscivore, fish eters. Furthermore species how feed on plankton how is pressed up from the dept. Sand shifters how filter food particles out of the sand and even a few species how are evolved in scale eaters and feed therefore only on scales of other fish. If you are interested in Lake Tanganyika cichlids I advise you to buy a book from Ad Konings where you can find interesting information. Best greetings

Thank you for that detailed information. I'll be watching more of your videos.@@cichlidsinthewild

Yep you’re right I corrected it already on my Facebook account. It’s a Tropheus moorii kiriza , but as I already mentioned escape from the fisherman during offloading. Thanks anyway for mentioning my mistake.

@@cichlidsinthewild the worst thing is that the natural environment of Lake Tanganyika is not only overfished by fishermen, sometimes turning it into a "sad desert" in some places, but the irresponsible release of species from other parts of the lake into new places is the beginning of unnatural hybridization, which is so condemned when takes place in aquariums throughout the Tanganyika community.. Thanks for your Job

Hi, it’s not always save to dive and ore snorkelling in Africa. There are many diseases in the rivers and lakes like Bilharzia. I have seen many crock’s but mainly in the rivers. In the lakes the are mainly active around the river deltas where the rivers flow into the Lakes. Unfortunately I couldn’t get them on video I mean off ours the smaller ones 🤪best greetings

Thanks Danny 👍

Hi Emil, thanks for your compliment. If you mean the goby around 3:20 that’s what I mentioned Sicydium salvini how is common in Costaricans rivers.

@@cichlidsinthewild Nice goby, do you know how I can get it?

No mate, will be difficult as there is no export allowed of live animals out of Costa Rica even it is a difficult fish to keep the become very slim and will finally dye. we tried from Panama

Too bad, it's beautiful. Maybe it would work to try one more time. maybe together we can keep it. But you know how it is better. ​@@cichlidsinthewild

Hi, I have a few of them. One whit a massive square aluminium frame 8mm and a few from hydraulic pipe 8mm don’t use to fine net so the water can runs true it.
