 Victorian Photo Index (under construction)
The search reports are showing an increased number of searches for victorian cichlids. With this in mind i am currently building a photo index for those beautiful but sadly now endangered cichlids from Lake Victoria. |
The following information was written by Keegan Armke.
"Lake Victoria is the third largest lake in the world. It’s the largest tropical lake. Picture a lake of roughly ovalure shape that stretches almost 250 miles at its longest point and almost 200 miles at its widest point.
As you may already know, many cichlids of Lake Victoria are becoming extinct in the wild. Between the Nile perch, deforestation, and water hyacinths, the future of these fishes looks bleak.
Sources say more than 200 species exist in the lake, and approximately the same number have already vanished.
In the only book devoted solely to Victorian cichlids, Lake Victoria Rock Cichlids, author Ole Seehausen says many species he studied only a few years ago can no longer be found alive in the lake today."
