A comment by the Urinator at the last Committee meeting awakened a mem- ory of times long gone. He commented on the Breeders Achievement Program reports in some Overseas Exchange magazines that I had mentioned in Rowemin’ ‘rounD. It triggered a memory of my continuous comment in my writings in early edi- tions of The Cichlid Monthly. I suggested to members that they ROAR cichlid. This was not a plea for mem- bers to harass colleagues at the water cooler, at the pub, at the footy, at social gatherings on the train on the way to work or wherever there was a potential audience.

  • Maidenhead Aquatics Datasheet Lake
    Maidenhead Aquatics Datasheet Lake Tanganyika Cichlids Lake Tanganyika is the deepest lake in Africa, and holds a very different assemblage of species to both Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria. There are many sub-groups of fish in this lake, all with different behaviour, environments and overall appearance. Tanganyikan cichlids also need hard, alkaline water with a pH around 8.0. They are usually must less aggressive and do not need to be overcrowded. However, they are not suitable for keeping in a community tank, and should not be mixed with the more boisterous Malawi's and Victorian's. Many species are small, so they can easily be kept in very small tanks, providing the water is kept free of pollution. SHELL DWELLERS Some species, such as many Neolamprologus species breed and take shelter in the shells of large aquatic snails. Many of these fish are fully grown at sizes of around 4cm (1%M), and can be kept alongside other larger species. For their size they are very aggressive and when breeding will often bite hands entering the tank for cleaning purposes. CAVE SPAWNERS Julidochromis, Variabilichromis, Altolamprologus and some Neolamprologus species spawn in crevices between rocks or in caves. Many of these form strong pair bonds, and have protracted parental care. Some species, for example, lay around 300 eggs. The young fry are guarded not only by both parents, but also by the previous generation of fry (older brothers and sisters). MOUTH BROODERS Some species, such as Tropheus and Xenotilapia are mouth brooders. Tropheus lay around 30 eggs which are kept in the female's mouth for around 30 days.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The field work for this study was conducted part time whilst gworking for Chris and Jeane Blignaut, Cape Kachese Fisheries, Zambia. I am indebted to them for allowing me time off from work, fuel, boats, diving staff and equipment and their friendship through out this period. This study could not have been occured without their support. I also thank all the members of Cape Kachese Fisheries who helped with field work, in particular: Lackson Kachali, Hanold Musonda, Evans Chingambo, Luka Musonda, Whichway Mazimba, Rogers Mazimba and Mathew Chama. Chris and Jeane Blignaut provided funds for travel to South Africa and partially supported my work in Grahamstown. The permit for fish collection was granted by the Director of Fisheries, Mr. H.D.Mudenda. Many discussions were held with Mr. Martin Pearce, then the Chief Fisheries Officer at Mpulungu, my thanks to them both. The staff of the JLB Smith Institute and DIFS (Rhodes University) are thanked for help in many fields: Ms. Daksha Naran helped with computing and organisation of many tables and graphs; Mrs. S.E.

Alloparental care in clownfishes Binu Varghese Marine Products Exports Development Authority, Kochi, India Parental care in clownfishes is well known, mouthing and fanning are the important behaviours apart from defending eggs from predators. They fan the egg mass using pectoral and caudal fins and thus provide necessary water movement to the densely packed clutch and thus help in faster removal of metabolic wastes (Figure 1). Clownfishes also remove unfertilized and unhealthy eggs from the clutch (egg batch).

MCEE has received encouragement to continue the monthly check-in opportunities, but to focus on different topics that could be more relevant to different classroom experiences. For December, MCEE invites teachers to join and share the best technology tools in teaching business they have found. This conversation will be led by teachers and will be an honest and candid review on the available tools. There will be an opportunity to share successes or gaps in the tools out there. Business - Wednesday, December 9 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. In January, MCEE will bring the focus to our teachers working in Economics and the best tools/methods in delivering economic fundamentals either in person or remotely in today's C19 environment and the uncertainties of attendance. Economics - Wednesday, January 13 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Click the links above to register.

  • A Revised Synonymy of Telmatochromis Temporalis (Teleostei, Cichlidae) from Lake Tanganyika (East Africa)
    Journal of Fish Biology (2001) 58, 639–655 doi:10.1006/jfbi.2000.1475, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on REGULAR PAPERS A revised synonymy of Telmatochromis temporalis (Teleostei, Cichlidae) from Lake Tanganyika (East Africa) M. H* J. S Africa Museum, Vertebrate Section, Ichthyology, Cichlid Research Unit, Leuvensesteenweg, 13, B-3080 Tervuren, Belgium (Received 4 July 2000, Accepted 13 October 2000) The taxonomic status of the nominal species Telmatochromis temporalis, T. lestradei, T. burgeoni and Julidochromis macrolepis has been reviewed. The synonymy of T. lestradei with T. temporalis is confirmed. A comparison of Telmatochromis burgeoni with Telmatochromis temporalis revealed no significant differences either. Hence T. burgeoni is considered synony- mous with T. temporalis. Examination of the type of Julidochromis macrolepis showed it to be conspecific with Telmatochromis dhonti and not with T. temporalis, as had been suggested. 2001 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles Key words: Telmatochromis; Lake Tanganyika; cichlids; synonymy; taxonomy. INTRODUCTION The systematics of the cichlids of the East African Lakes are very complicated and at present taxonomic knowledge is still poor (Fryer & Iles, 1972; Coulter et al., 1986; Greenwood, 1991; Rossiter, 1995; Snoeks, 2000). Even for the relatively well-known Lake Tanganyika, taxa with a supposedly stable taxonomy turn out to be problematic when a revision is made (Verheyen et al., 1996; Hanssens et al., 1999; Ru¨ber et al., 1999). As a result of an ongoing study on the taxonomy and distribution patterns of the lamprologine cichlids from Lake Tanganyika (Snoeks et al., 1994) several problems were encountered within the genus Telmatochromis Boulenger, 1898.
