What species is this? 0:59 It has similar color to frontosa and tretocephalus.

Sorry for my late reply. This is Perissodus straeleni how evolved in a scale eater and mimic indeed frontosa to come closer to his prey.

@@cichlidsinthewild Thank you for replying! I wonder does it specialize to eat only the scales of frontosa or does it eat scales of other cichlids too?

Wonder if there has ever been a submersible sent down to the greatest depth (1400 m) in the lake`s northern part.

There are termal vents in some regions, but not as strong as lake baikal's to oxygenate water at that depth. At 200m it is already quite dark.

Amazing Video…from my travels across Africa I’d never have thought to bring a mask and fins! Isn’t this lake where Gustav the man-eating crocodile lived? How prevalent are crocs there where you dive?

Hi, it’s not always save to dive and ore snorkelling in Africa. There are many diseases in the rivers and lakes like Bilharzia. I have seen many crock’s but mainly in the rivers. In the lakes the are mainly active around the river deltas where the rivers flow into the Lakes. Unfortunately I couldn’t get them on video I mean off ours the smaller ones 🤪best greetings

What is the temperature of the water at depth? *Why do African cichlids need warm water if they swim at a depth of several hundred meters?!*
@cichlidsinthewild8 ай бұрын
At Wikipedia you find your answer. Check Lake Tanganyika, Water characteristics. The water temperature is at that depth nearly the same. Below 150 meter is no oxygen in the water and therefore no fish check Wikipedia
