Lake Victoria Rock Cichlids
by Ole Seehausen
This is the first popular book about Lake Victoria cichlids,
and it reports about a species assemblage that is largely new to aquarists
and scientists alike. The 173 species discussed constitute a Mbuna-like
group of Lake Victoria cichlids, that was previously believed not to exist!
Most emphasis is laid upon the presentation of the various
species-complexes and species, with much new information about distribution,
ecology, and behaviour in their natural environment. For this purpose underwater
work using SCUBA was done for the first time in lake Victoria. High time
therefore to look at Lake Victoria's rock cichlids more carefully....
The book is illustrated with 400 colour photos, maps, and
drawings. It has 304 pages, a hardcover, and a size of 6" x 9.5".
