We have four world renowned speakers and so much more for your enjoyment. It’s not too late to sign up to see the excellent talks and to participate in all of our planned activities. Look inside this bulletin to find more information on this premier, annual event and check out www.ohiocichlid.com for more information. I would like to encourage all members to show a fish so that we can provide a great educational opportunity for all those passing through. I would love to see a huge show this year featuring not often seen Cichlids and Catfish… The Extravaganza Show is a great opportunity to showcase and advertise our hobby and to try to get others involved. Thanks much for your support! In October, Loach enthusiast, Jim Powers, visited to provide another great talk to our club. He covered all aspects of this intriguing group of fishes, including species, feeding, maintenance, breeding, etc. He actually inspired me to go out and buy some Hillstream loaches the next day! Thanks, Jim, for a great presentation. I wanted to provide a reminder that we are implementing the reduced number of bags allowed to be put in the Buck-A-Bag auction at monthly meetings (from 6 to 4). As we discussed at the October meeting, the reason is that the auction has become too big to allow us to finish the meeting by 11 pm, the time we must vacate the meeting premises. We appreciate your understanding and support for this change that will help us stay in good standing with the Church. That’s all for now… See you at the Extravaganza, November 16-18, at the Strongsville Holiday Inn. The OCA Board is looking for someone to handle the refreshments for the Extravaganza, including the Hospitality Suite. In addition, we would like the person to handle the monthly meetings for the balance of the year. Please contact me or another board member if you are interested. Regards, Don A fine family of products committed to developing technologies and innovative solutions for pet owners and their pets. Brands you know. Brands you trust. United We Stand. Happiness Has Fins From the Editor’s Desk Hello OCA friend! It’s November! You know what that means. Extravaganza 2012! I’ve been counting down the days since the last one. There is simply no better weekend throughout the year for the hobbyist. The OCA Extravaganza far surpasses any Cichlid event during the year. For me, it’s like an early Christmas present. Now is the time to visit CoinStar to cash in all of your change for extra spending money. There will be the opportunity to stock up on all fish related items, plus all of the Cichlids and cats your hearts and fish rooms desire. Make the best out of the weekend and savor every moment. The vendor room will be flooding with sales and our swap meet on Saturday might just take up about every square inch of the Holiday Inn. If you thought the Extravaganza couldn’t get any bigger, you were wrong. This year will mark the largest number of show space given to sales. The quantity and quality of hobby goods and fish will be unbelievable if you don’t see it for yourself. Outside interest is at an all time high because they know the OCA and its members are worth it. Everyone wants a piece of the OCA market. We are so proud to have you all as members. Let’s continue to grow through November and into 2013. Remember, November is the time to renew your membership. Don’t forget to grab a friend and bring him/her to the event. Expand the hobby, especially with the kiddos. We need to spark interest early if we want the hobby to continue. Send me a picture, Jonathan “Jombie” Dietrich I adopted two cats. They love Cichlids too.

  • Maidenhead Aquatics Datasheet Lake

    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.

Eric Reynolds FINNISH INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Bujumbura, January 1992 The conclusions and recommendations given in this and other reports in the Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika Project series are those considered appropriate at the time of preparation. They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained at subsequent stages of the Project. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of FAO or FINNIDA concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or concerning the determination of its frontiers or boundaries. PREFACE The Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika project (Tanganyika Research) became fully operational in January 1992. It is executed by the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Finnish International Development Agency (FINNIDA). This project aims at the determination of the biological basis for fish production on Lake Tanganyika, in order to permit the formulation of a coherent lake-wide fisheries management policy for the four riparian States (Burundi, Tanzania, Zaïre and Zambia). Particular attention will be also given to the reinforcement of the skills and physical facilities of the fisheries research units in all four beneficiary countries as well as to the buildup of effective coordination mechanisms to ensure full collaboration between the Governments concerned.

    First Genomic Study on Lake Tanganyika Sprat Stolothrissa

    De Keyzer et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2019) 19:6 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1325-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access First genomic study on Lake Tanganyika sprat Stolothrissa tanganicae: a lack of population structure calls for integrated management of this important fisheries target species Els L. R. De Keyzer1,2*† , Zoë De Corte3,4†, Maarten Van Steenberge1,3,4, Joost A. M. Raeymaekers1,5, Federico C. F. Calboli1, Nikol Kmentová6, Théophile N’Sibula Mulimbwa7, Massimiliano Virgilio3, Carl Vangestel4, Pascal Masilya Mulungula7, Filip A. M. Volckaert1 and Maarten P. M. Vanhove1,2,6,8,9 Abstract Background: Clupeid fisheries in Lake Tanganyika (East Africa) provide food for millions of people in one of the world’s poorest regions. Due to climate change and overfishing, the clupeid stocks of Lake Tanganyika are declining. We investigate the population structure of the Lake Tanganyika sprat Stolothrissa tanganicae, using for the first time a genomic approach on this species. This is an important step towards knowing if the species should be managed separately or as a single stock. Population structure is important for fisheries management, yet understudied for many African freshwater species. We hypothesize that distinct stocks of S. tanganicae could be presentduetothelargesizeofthelake(isolationbydistance),limnological variation (adaptive evolution), or past separation of the lake (historical subdivision). On the other hand, high mobility of the species and lack of obvious migration barriers might have resulted in a homogenous population. Results: We performed a population genetic study on wild-caught S. tanganicae through a combination of mitochondrial genotyping (96 individuals) and RAD sequencing (83 individuals).

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).
