Tanganyika Cichlids In Their Natural Habitat
A Compendium on Lake Tanganyika CichlidsAuthor: Konings, Ad, 1998
Review
by Juan Miguel Artigas Azas, 15-Sep-1998.
In this completely new treatment of the cichlids of Lake Tanganyika, more than 200 different species are characterized by their distribution, coloration, and habitat preferences. More than 920 photographs (the majority never published before) illustrate the cichlids from the entire lake; 683 photos (75%!) were taken underwater and show the cichlids at their best: in their natural habitat.
