Underwater video and images of wild cichlids in Lake Tanganyika, taken during my research trip in August-December 2011. Video editing was done by Carla Avolio and Alex Jordan.
One or two of the photos were taken by Stefan Fischer. For more information about the research side of things, please visit www.alexjordan.org
Hi! Thanks for taking time to put this up. Amazing video and a real opportunity to see the fish in their natural habitat.
This is so strange. All these species actually exist and co-exist in the lake. I have kept many different Tanganyika species and also bred a lot of them. I think my love of the lake and its diverse behaviour will never cease to exite me. No tanks at the moment but thinking of a medium tank (2-300 liters) with N. meleagris and a couple of Synodontis to keep the meleagris on the edge. Thank you for uploading this. It keeps my dreams alive.
That poor fella had tried to raid a nest (probably tetracanthus) and got his opercula caught. I tried to pull him out gently but eventually had to put the camera down and dig him out. He was groggy but survived!
They look even more beautiful in those amazing naturally clear waters.
Those cyps are amazing!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
All i can say im so jealous & wish i could have scubba dived with you, that experience must have been amazing to see that lake at that depth. I have kept these fish and many others for years, never have seen them in a wild habitat till your video, thanks! Cool music by the way.
This footage is outstanding.
very nice!!!!!!
So dreams of doing this can come true for some.... Lucky buggers. So jealous.
Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of food for the number of fish, huh?
Why did you guys hook that one?
Most of the time was shallow 10-15m, but the N. buescheri were deeper, ~30m, and I went to 42m a couple of times to look for Benthochromis tricoti, but all I saw was mud!
Hi Alex!
It's a pleasure to watch your videos again and again. So relaxing... music and the way you have made them. Almost magical feeling!

Hey Lisa, I needed to catch some fish and tag them as part of my research. Amazingly, the simplest way to do this is with underwater line fishing. Using nets in that rocky environment is pretty much useless.
Im just jealous. what was with the synodontis with his head in the sand
Awesome! I enjoyed every second
Very nice anybody who loves African cichlids would like this vid thankx
Fantastic thanks for VID
Very nice video. So many beautiful fish in there. I own about half of the fish shown :)
Yeah, crocs are always a problem. In one of my early videos from Lake Tang in 2008 I have footage of our solution - throw rocks at the water in a pathetic attempt to scare them off!
Preciosos Tanganykas, mis favoritos.
GREAT VIDEO! Would love to do this one day
If you mean the one at 8:02, that's Ndole Bay, although there are ventralis in most of my videos, many from Kapata Bay
OMG!!! Look at those cyprichromis species!!!!
Amazing!
@fisherman993 Glad you liked it! Don't forget to check out parts II and III
feliz cumple
very nice love you for the vid :)
Love the vid bud, great job! Wish I could have been there with you! :)
Absolutely beautiful.
I have a 1200 gallon tanque of African chiclid but fish in the wild in their natural habitat attain much better vibrant colors.
That was great thank you
What's the name of the bright one at about :30?
Wow!!! awesome
Hello Jordan, what species did you find in Cape Kaku? I saw in the images what appears to be Neolamprologus brichard; can confirm that information. I'm setting up a biotope aquarium and I'm looking for information about the fauna. Thank you.
Does anyone know the species of plant at 8:08?
Thanks for uploading this, what's was the deal with that fish a t 3:54? I thought only ostriches buried their heads in sand.
Thanks! I'm gonna go look that up now n_n
That's a Cyprichromis species, most likely leptosoma 'jumbo', but the classification of this genus is incomplete.
emeğine sağlık çok güzel
what for a location are the ventralis from?
Damn Daffodils everywhere. Those things spread like cancer. I put 4 in a 75 gallon and in 6 months it was 100. With synodontis and calvus eating fry.
what was the max depth u went during that trip?
Song title and artist please thx ?
Hello, very nice video !
Where is cape Kaku please ?
Google is your friend. It is in the southern part of the lake:
"Cape Kaku is a point within Zambia and is southeast of Cape Kapembwa and Cape Kabwe Nsolo and east of Chilingala. Cape Kaku has an elevation of 767 metres."
