    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.

    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

    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.

    @Ralph-ny1ey Před 7 lety

    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.

    • @sixmachine40
      @sixmachine40 Před rokem

      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
