Planet Earth, 9PM on BBC1 - yes. It was good, but I would have liked to see more of the fish in the Amazon and less of the helicopter views of waterfalls - however beutifull they are, they don't really teach me anything about the fish that lives in the rivers...

Unfortunately, the life in an aquarium is always going to be much like a caged animal in a zoo. The only way you can make it more realistic for your fish, is to keep them in a good-sized tank.

It's actually: Lake Tanganyika - Jewel of the Rift :) I agree with Marco, it's a very interesting show.

Unfortunately it is out of print at the moment. That leaves eBay or Aquabid as the main places to try and get a copy. Jim Forshey at http://www.seahorses.com may have one or two as well.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,
