Some beautiful habitats in Guinea

- “Some beautiful habitats in Guinea” is the title of this video. In Guinea are still some unpolluted rivers to find, and I had the opportunity to do some snorkeling in a few of them. In this video I show you the best habitat (their natural habitat) of the cichlids that live in the relevant rivers. Some of the cichlids are very attractive and even popular within the aquarium hobbyist. So if you make the choice to set up an aquarium for one of these beautiful cichlids I hope you will find some Info and especially inspiration in my video, to set up a most perfect imitation of their natural habitat. And how wonderful would it be if you show me some pics of your aquarium setup.
❤❤❤
What are those beauties cohabitating with the jewels!! Whoooowwww they are amazing
Some really beautiful species
Really a dream and big inspiration. Thank you very much.
BBC production and content quality. Fantastic video, fish and habitats.
love how he says gggrrriver :)
Good inspiration for my aquarium! Thanks.
Please long videos and thanks for the work you share.
Super materiał
Beautiful Ecosystems! thanks for sharing the video, truly inspirational for someone to attempt a Biotope tank with Jewels and Pelvicachromis cichlids!
Those Five Star Generals looked awesome in their natural habitat.
Fantastic video as always Hans!
Very. nice video and some beautiful habitat, Thanks for sharing 🐠🌾
Thanks
Thanks for the video
I was waiting for this one Hans, very nice!
Thanks Martin. I was considering to make a longer movie but I do have to less details especially from breeding behaviour. I guess we were to early in season.
Love this video
❤
i like that you put a narrator voice in the video! very nice and interesting.
Thanks Michael I am happy you enjoyed it.
I've always loved West African fish, from when the local tropical fish wholesaler used to get different species mixed in with their kribensis. . Great video content, great video quality, and great information. (and I'm in the USA and I don't know Mr van Heusden.)
Thank you for your compliment, so now you have seen a little bit of my movies you know me. But how are you Sir.
Extremely good video and information. I love your narration.
Thanks Twas, for your compliment. My voice over is not my best feature 🤪
Why aren't you guys on the Nature Channel yet..! 🌱 And what is that gorgeous fish being chased at 6:13 ?
What's the even popular with aquarium hobbyists mean? Fish in the hobby come from the Orient which are popular.Culturally aware & cognisant that you name the specific African nation these cichlids originate from. Spectacular Cichlids!!!!
Great content! This information is so useful!
thanks, I hope people will use it to setup their tanks.
Thank you for this video. I currently have a school of cichlids and they are doing well together. African Jewels cichlids are fantastic fish to have, beatiful but aggresive.
Very nice video Hans! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Rene

Great video! 😊
Thanks Jari, more to come.
@@cichlidsinthewild Thankyou Hans. Looking forward your new videos!
That kribensis are awesome!
Sorry KeOKe in this movie is not a kribensis but P. roloffi
@@cichlidsinthewild oh my mistake😅😅
Well done!!
Thank you so much for sharing this Hans, no so often seen images! Trully Amazing.
Oh and i loved the narration!
Thanks for the compliment.

Between 2:50 /3:00 an old can can be seen at the bottom of the river.
I think you have the best cichlid wildlife videos. Thanks alot for showing different behaviors. Why do you think did the Hemichromis fasciatus evolve to be so aggressive?
Hello, thank you for your compliment. We aquarium enthusiasts describe cichlids as aggressive when they exhibit strong territorial behavior. It is not only Hemichromis fasciatus that exhibits this highly territorial behavior. there are many more species than you think. I have seen large schools of H. fasciatus swimming around in their natural habitat without any aggression, but as soon as they start showing breeding behavior, a pair separates and forms a territory then it's a different fish. And yes, that is often not possible in the aquarium, causing the couple to lash out viciously at their fellow inhabitants, often with disastrous consequences. Watch some more of my videos and you will encounter this behavior in many cichlids, more often than you think. Recently posted Neetroplus nematopus, you can not keep more than 1 pair in your aquarium and even fellow inhabitants will have to give up. Unless you maintain a very large aquarium. So my opinion is that this is not an aggressiveness of a particular cichlid species but a strong territorial behavior. I try to explain that in my videos so that people can make the right choices when choosing their aquarium design. And believe me, I have cared for beautiful pairs of H.fasciatus in my aquarium, but there were no tankmates with them. Why one cichlid has more territorial behavior evolved than other species is for me also unclear. but in general open substrate breeders show more of this behavior. So I hope I answered your question.
As Hans stated, cichlids show the greatest aggressive behaviour when breeding. The instinct to spawn and protect the young is therefore very strong because without this, the eggs and fry would easily be predated upon. A male's sole purpose in life is to pass on as many of his genes as possible, so to protect the carriers of his line, he has to keep all predators away from his territory, and that includes members of his species living in the adjacent territory. Substrate spawning species will defend territories in captivity, we may not see these territories, but the fish feels compelled to keep others out. This may result in injury or death to intruders if they cannot flee and hide. We just don't give them enough space in our small tanks.
love this fish channel. I found it right now. nice work sir.
Thanks MiZaquaNature I opened this channel to give some inspiration for the aquarists to create a natural imitation setup in their aquarium.
@@cichlidsinthewild Thank you sir. Nice inspiration for Biotope setup so aquarist understand where the plant and fish came from.
Does Valisneria species, e.g. V. spiralis grow there? Seems something similar at least.
Hi A, yes there occurs an Vallisneria species in West Africa Vallisneria spiralis. So probably it is this aquatic plant, but I am not 100% sure as I have myself never specialised in Aquatic plants. Hope this will help you.
@@cichlidsinthewild Thank you very much! I found out today V. spiralis occur in River Fwa for example. Keep doing a great job!!
Hi Hans, can you identify the fish that we see at 6:12? Thank you
2 years have gone by since i've seen this video. Revisited now for some inspiration. Thank you once again for the truly remarkable images.
Hi Concalo, this species is a Coptodon guineensis.
Concalo thanks for your compliment 👍
Co to za ryba ????
Wonder what would happen if some convicts were introduced into these African habitats?🤔
