Opis

This book, the first ever guide to the cichlid fishes of the offshore waters of Lake Malawi, shows that this habitat harbors a great diversity of little-known cichlid species. Aquarists will be fascinated by the wealth of previously-unknown brilliantly-colored and bizarrely-shaped species. Information on distinguishing features, color, size, distribution and abundance, commercial importance, diet, reproduction, and taxonomy are given for 199 species, 79 of which are presently undescribed.

Information on distinguishing features, colour, size, distribution and abundance, commercial importance, diet, reproduction, and taxonomy are given for 199 species, 79 of which are presently undescribed. 186 colour and 44 black and white photographs illustrate all species. Also included are figures showing the main distinguishing features of the fish, maps, a glossary of technical terms, a full bibliography and brief discussion of the evolution, ecology and conservation of these fishes.
