To many to mention, but find answers in my other videos. I uploaded this video this way to give you aquarists the challenge to find some species names themselves.
I have an F1 Eretmodus Cyanostictus whose parents were from Kipili. This video was a real treat. Thank you for sharing! At 3:00 that looks like a Shuja Horei, but the horizontal bar in the middle is throwing me off. Do you have an ID on that one?
The female cichlids look exactly like the shimmering water pattern on the sand and the males know exactly how to and when to shake/flash for best color. Smart fish.
I dove in Kipili. Once. I have never seen so many snakes under water as in Kipili. Many crocks as well. Even in the middle of the day. Tropheus are black /brown. Nothing anyone wanted.
@@cichlidsinthewild It must be location specific. I have always carried three foot stick with me on all dives. Those are terrestrial snakes so it must be the habitat above the water which determines their presence. Luckily they do not see under water. When they were swimming right at me, I just tapped them with my stick to change their direction. Crocodiles are tricky. At the time I was there, local woman got attacked in mid day washing her cloth. I personally did not see one there but i trust locals who really do not go in the water. They know. Similar situation is is with Hippos. I have seen them almost daily on the land and marching at the bottom of the lake. But nowhere else. One has to be careful. Plenty of people die killed by crocks and Hippos. I learned to speak to locals about the potential dangers. They always know. On Lake Malawi there is Island when nobody is messing around with. i wanted to dive there but i was warned not to. So I did not. Crocks. although any time i rode a boat by it i never seen one. I trusted to locals.
Michel this is your choice and with many mores people and yes they are very colourful. There are several videos in my channel list where you can enjoy your favourite Malawi cichlids.
6:14 Much aquarium-feel with the plats in the sand there. ☺
The sand lovers at 5:55 are great.
Great video! thanks for sharing, it's always good seeing something a bit different.
Thanks, yes LT habitats do not only contain out of rock.
@@cichlidsinthewild Yes but most people will concentrate on them you went the other way, Thank you for that 🙂
I love this video

Thanks Sergio

Thats Cyathopharynx furcifer? Noice! 6:40 . Maybe I saw an opthalmotilapia too @ 6:15?
Hi jeil, this is Cyathopharynx foae. Cyathopharynx furcifer should occur in the south of the lake according the specialist.

@@billscorner404 thanks, great you enjoyed the video.

Great you look at those details, and you enjoyed them.
Will we see bichirs in your future videos?

You were lucky, I have seen only one snake and was surging for crocks to get them on video in 50 dives and have not seen one.
