  • The African Butterfly Peacock Aulonocara Jacobfreibergi “Eureka Red” by John Moyles
    The African Butterfly Peacock Aulonocara jacobfreibergi “Eureka Red” By John Moyles Aulonocara jacobfreibergi (Johnson, 1974) is also called the African butterfly peacock and the fairy peacock. They are endemic to Malawi and are found throughout the lake of the same name. There are several geographical variants of the Aulonocara species in the hobby, including Eureka, Mamela, Otter Point, Hongi Island, Cape Kaiser, Lemon Jake, among others. These should never be housed together as they will readily cross-breed. Only one geographical race should be kept in the same aquarium. Description Males of this species differ from most other Peacocks in their broad, wide white dorsal and caudal fin margins. Females are easily confused with other peacock females, because they are grayish-brown in color with vertical banding on the body and have rounded anal and dorsal fins. Butterfly peacocks are further distinguished from other Peacocks by their large size. They can grow to lengths of up to 8 or 9 inches, but often can breed at half that size. Another distinguishing characteristic of the Butterfly Peacock is its moderate to deeply forked tail fin, which gives it the appearance of a swallow's tail. The “Eureka” variant is an aquarium strain that was developed by line breeding specimens from Otter Point, Malawi. The males have blue throughout head, body and fins. Lower half of the head is blue and the upper part of the dorsal region is orange/red. Anal fin may show red. Dorsal fin has the trademark white/light blue blaze. Diet Butterfly peacocks are specialized feeders. In the wild they mostly consume zooplankton (insect larvae and crustaceans) in the wild.

  • The Cichlid Chronicles
    Volume1 Issue #3 The Cichlid Chronicles A Look at African Cichlids How to Aquascape your cichlid tanks NJAS - The Greatest Show On Earth And now a message from our CCY President……………. Well it’s all but official CCY fans- summer is coming to an end- Boo! Boo!! Boo!!! The CCY celebrated the end of summer and the restart of our monthly CCY meetings with our 1st annual Cichlid Club of York PA Picnic. With well over 40 CCY members, friends and family the picnic was a great success. As President I felt it was my duty to be “Grill master” for our first CCY picnic and boy was that a mistake! The first batch of burgers and hot dogs were cooked to a perfection that only one Kevin J Carr could love (if you know Kevin you know nothing is cooked unless it’s burnt…LOL). But after some time I got familiar with the gas grill controls and began to serve burgers that didn’t resemble hockey pucks. One thing that I’m finding that “I” am good at is assembling and decorating cichlid display (or show) tanks. As the club has taken off- more and more people have visited my fish room after our monthly meetings as I only live 3 houses down from our meeting spot. The expression on people faces when they get a tour of my fish room is priceless and actually makes me feel very proud of what I’ve created. In my monthly column “The Cichlid Circle” I will be talking about my tanks, how I decorate them and how inexpensive it is to decorate these tanks following my outline.

  • Chromosome Differentiation Patterns During Cichlid Fish Evolution
    Poletto et al. BMC Genetics 2010, 11:50 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2156/11/50 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access ChromosomeResearch article differentiation patterns during cichlid fish evolution Andréia B Poletto1, Irani A Ferreira1, Diogo C Cabral-de-Mello1, Rafael T Nakajima1, Juliana Mazzuchelli1, Heraldo B Ribeiro1, Paulo C Venere2, Mauro Nirchio3, Thomas D Kocher4 and Cesar Martins*1 Abstract Background: Cichlid fishes have been the subject of increasing scientific interest because of their rapid adaptive radiation which has led to an extensive ecological diversity and their enormous importance to tropical and subtropical aquaculture. To increase our understanding of chromosome evolution among cichlid species, karyotypes of one Asian, 22 African, and 30 South American cichlid species were investigated, and chromosomal data of the family was reviewed. Results: Although there is extensive variation in the karyotypes of cichlid fishes (from 2n = 32 to 2n = 60 chromosomes), the modal chromosome number for South American species was 2n = 48 and the modal number for the African ones was 2n = 44. The only Asian species analyzed, Etroplus maculatus, was observed to have 46 chromosomes. The presence of one or two macro B chromosomes was detected in two African species. The cytogenetic mapping of 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) gene revealed a variable number of clusters among species varying from two to six. Conclusions: The karyotype diversification of cichlids seems to have occurred through several chromosomal rearrangements involving fissions, fusions and inversions. It was possible to identify karyotype markers for the subfamilies Pseudocrenilabrinae (African) and Cichlinae (American). The karyotype analyses did not clarify the phylogenetic relationship among the Cichlinae tribes.

  • Whole-Genome Sequences of Malawi Cichlids Reveal Multiple Radiations Interconnected by Gene Flow
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-018-0717-x Whole-genome sequences of Malawi cichlids reveal multiple radiations interconnected by gene flow Milan Malinsky 1,2,10*, Hannes Svardal 1,3,4,5,10, Alexandra M. Tyers6,9, Eric A. Miska 1,3,7, Martin J. Genner8, George F. Turner6 and Richard Durbin 1,3* The hundreds of cichlid fish species in Lake Malawi constitute the most extensive recent vertebrate adaptive radiation. Here we characterize its genomic diversity by sequencing 134 individuals covering 73 species across all major lineages. The aver- age sequence divergence between species pairs is only 0.1–0.25%. These divergence values overlap diversity within species, with 82% of heterozygosity shared between species. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that diversification initially proceeded by serial branching from a generalist Astatotilapia-like ancestor. However, no single species tree adequately represents all species relationships, with evidence for substantial gene flow at multiple times. Common signatures of selection on visual and oxygen transport genes shared by distantly related deep-water species point to both adaptive introgression and independent selec- tion. These findings enhance our understanding of genomic processes underlying rapid species diversification, and provide a platform for future genetic analysis of the Malawi radiation. he formation of every lake or island represents a fresh oppor- The species that comprise the radiation can be divided into seven tunity for colonization, proliferation and diversification of groups with differing ecology and morphology (see Supplementary Tliving forms.
