TANGANYIKA CICHLIDS in their natural habitat by Ad Konings
Tanganyika Cichlids in their Natural Habitat catalogues and characterizes all the known cichlid species of the lake on the basis of their distribution, coloration, and habitat preferences, drawing on data accumulated during several hundred hours of underwater observation by the author, a noted authority on the cichlids of lakes Malawi and Tanganyika. The more than 900 photos illustrate all known Tanganyika cichlids, and the majority were taken in the lake, portraying the fishes in their natural habitat. And the wealth of information on the natural environment this book contains will render it increasingly possible to maintain each species in the most natural way, allowing it to behave as if it were in the lake. Only by thus duplicating their normal environment can we expect to be treated to the fishes' natural behaviour.
