  • Cichlid Diversity, Speciation and Systematics: Examples from the Great African Lakes
    Cichlid diversity, speciation and systematics: examples from the Great African Lakes Jos Snoeks, Africa Museum, Ichthyology- Cichlid Research Unit, Leuvensesteenweg 13, B-3080 Ter­ vuren,.Belgium. Tel: (32) 2 769 56 28, Fax: (32) 2 769 56 42(e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The cichlid faunas of the large East African lakes pro vide many fascina ting research tapies. They are unique because of the large number of species involved and the ir exceptional degree ofendemicity. In addition, certain taxa exhibit a substantial degree of intra~lacustrine endemism. These features al one make the Great African Lakes the largest centers of biodiversity in the vertebrate world. The numbers of cichlid species in these lakes are considered from different angles. A review is given of the data available on the tempo of their speciation, and sorne of the biological implications of its explosive character are discussed. The confusion in the definition of many genera is illustrated and the current methodology of phylogenetic research briefly commented upon. Theresults of the systematic research within the SADC/GEFLake Malawi/NyasaBiodiversity Conservation Project are discussed. It is argued that systematic research on the East African lake cichlids is entering an era of lesser chaos but increasing complexity. INTRODUCTION The main value of the cichlids of the Great African Grea ter awareness of the scientific and economi­ Lakes is their economie importance as a readily cal value of these fishes has led to the establishment accessible source of protein for the riparian people. In of varioüs recent research projects such as the three addition, these fishes are important to the specialized GEF (Global Environmental Facility) projects on the aquarium trade as one of the more exci ting fish groups larger lakes (Victoria, Tanganyika, Malawi/Nyasa).

Two crude proteins (38%CP and 56%CP) and two crude lipids (9%CL and 16%CL) rates were applied to four formulated diets: R1 (38%CP:16%CL), R2 (38%CP:9%CL), R3 (56%CP:16%CL) and R4 (56%CP:9%CL). The SR was 100% in H. ahli while that of P. socolofi ranged from 66.6% to 93.3% in the two groups, respectively. The highest WG and SGR were seen in the H. ahli and P. socolofi groups fed with R2 feed. The best FCR values were obtained in R2 groups of H. ahli (1.64) and R groups of P. socolofi (1.41). HSI values for H. ahli and P.

  • 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.

Lazara COMMENTS: v. 4.0 - 30 April 2021 Order CICHLIFORMES (part 2 of 8) Family CICHLIDAE Cichlids (part 2 of 7) Subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae African Cichlids (Abactochromis through Greenwoodochromis) Abactochromis Oliver & Arnegard 2010 abactus, driven away, banished or expelled, referring to both the solitary, wandering and apparently non-territorial habits of living individuals, and to the authors’ removal of its one species from Melanochromis, the genus in which it was originally described, where it mistakenly remained for 75 years; chromis, a name dating to Aristotle, possibly derived from chroemo (to neigh), referring to a drum (Sciaenidae) and its ability to make noise, later expanded to embrace cichlids, damselfishes, dottybacks and wrasses (all perch-like fishes once thought to be related), often used in the names of African cichlid genera following Chromis (now Oreochromis) mossambicus Peters 1852 Abactochromis labrosus (Trewavas 1935) thick-lipped, referring to lips produced into pointed lobes Allochromis Greenwood 1980 allos, different or strange, referring to unusual tooth shape and dental pattern, and to its lepidophagous habits; chromis, a name dating to Aristotle, possibly derived from chroemo (to neigh), referring to a drum (Sciaenidae) and its ability to make noise, later expanded to embrace cichlids, damselfishes, dottybacks and wrasses (all perch-like fishes once thought to be related), often used in the names of African cichlid genera following Chromis (now Oreochromis) mossambicus Peters 1852 Allochromis welcommei (Greenwood 1966) in honor of Robin Welcomme, fisheries biologist, East African Freshwater Fisheries Research Organization (Jinja, Uganda), who collected type and supplied ecological and other data Alticorpus Stauffer & McKaye 1988 altus, deep; corpus, body, referring to relatively deep body of all species Alticorpus geoffreyi Snoeks & Walapa 2004 in honor of British carcinologist, ecologist and ichthyologist Geoffrey Fryer (b.

  • 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.
