 For  more than a century the cichlids of Lake Tanganyika have been a focus  of scientific attention, and many interesting facts regarding fish  behavior have been learned from study of this complex fish community.  During the last five decades almost all of the 219 known species have become  available in the aquarium hobby, and most of them have proved to be  excellent aquarium residents, allowing aquarists to make a considerable  contribution to our knowledge of these fishes through observations in  captivity.
 This third,  revised, edition of the definitive study of Lake Tanganyika cichlids  discusses and illustrates more species than any previous publication.  Basing his study on more than 750 hours of underwater observations all  over the lake, the author characterizes the species by their habitat  preferences, distribution, feeding and breeding behavior, and  coloration.
 The more than 1200 photos illustrate all known  Tanganyika cichlids, and the majority were taken in the lake, portraying  the fish in their natural habitat. And the wealth of information on the  natural environment this book contains will render it increasingly  possible to maintain each species in the most natural way, allowing it  to behave as if it were in the lake. Only by thus duplicating their  normal environment can we expect to be treated to the natural behavior  of these cichlids.
