Lake Tanganyika Documentary Series - Tales of Shells and Dust - Chapter 3 - Musical suite

The soundtrack has improved a bit since the first chapter, so here is a version of the chapter without narration. I think the result is a relaxation video :)

Will Chapter 4 be coming out soon?

This is way better, when you let the fish and their behavior "talk" for them selves, and not compare them with humans. I believe it is a Callochromis sp. fighting with a Ophthalmotilapia sp. I have kept both, but only a few variants. Callochromis (kept and bred two species) can be quite nasty to other fish in the tank, while Ophthalmotilapia seems to ignore most other species. Never kept them together though, and with this video it does not seem like a good idea.

+Joker Vienna Those callochromis lived side by side with aulanocranus but the aulanocranus were a bit more peaceful. The ophthalmotilapias were mostly submissive to other similarly sized fish. I uploaded almost 500 hours of uncut footage so that anyone wanting an unbiased view of the fish could have an opportunity to watch them without my influence. I wasn't even there most of the time, the cameras were fillming by themselves.

You should do that much more - stop comparing fish with humans. Your filming is great, I love it. But comparing fish with humans are simply wrong. Thank you for posting this, but just stop with this comments on fish compared to humans. That does not gain anything in understanding nature. The "homeless" fish are not homeless or bandits. They exist, living their life. Even they have evolved for some million of years, to become what they are. Then we, humans, tries to understand how they live and their behavior. They do not live in a human way and should not be talked about like that. They are not bad fish in any way. They behave like they have developed to do. It is like tigers, crocs and sharks - are they bad when they attack folks? I would say no. It is their life, it is what they do. In no way we can compare this behaviour to humans. Of course, if something prays on us, we will have to take actions to assure both species are safe. That is another thing though. We can also include ticks in this equation. What use are they? None. But they exist. They have nor purpose for humans, no real reason for their existence. But. They are a part of our environment, and in that a part of the beauty of the worlds diversity. I could say a lot about ticks and that we should kill them all. I wont. They are a part of this world and live their lives. Just as what you name the "homeless fish". They are not homeless. They have their place and survives. Just in a manner we have difficulties to understand. Please do not describe them in human terms. If two species have a conflict, yes, they have a conflict. But it can not be viewed in comparison to humans. Keep on posting and please re-edit some of your other nice videos.
