No lake in the world contains such a diversified and distinct community of cichlid fishes as Lake Malawi. Over the years Malawi cichlids, which are among the most colorful freshwater fishes known, have become very popular among aquarists, as they are easy to maintain and breed in captivity. The total number of cichlid species in the lake is now estimated at about 1000, which are about 200 more than all the freshwater fish species of the North American Continent combined! And there is every indication that still more remains to be discovered. In this video, Ad Konings talks about the various kinds of feeding behavior in Malawi cichlids. He uses detailed photos and close-up video footage to explain the sometimes-astonishing methods of how these inventive fishes cope with their environment. This 56 minutes documentary is fascinating, as the entire video has been shot in the wild! You will discover the tremendous variety and multiple feeding behaviors of those beautiful fishes. Wonders of nature and evolution!

I wanted to learn more about African Cichlids, I'm enjoying the hobby of keeping them. This DVD is scientific but for the most part unadaptable to keeping them in an Aquarium. The cinematography is great at times. The DVD has helped me understand Cichlids in there natural habitat a little better, more so what/how to feed them. The narration is unbearable. The case and menu needs updated to suite 2010.

Very Disappointing for the price
Not worth the money. I thought it would be better then it was for how much I spent. Next time I'll use YouTube instead

The BEST Documentary on Malawi Cichlid fish YET!
This is the best documentary (or more appropriately, a seminar) on Lake Malawi's Cichlid fish yet! Ad Konings provides great filming with exceptional information on the evolutionary wonders and science behind Lake Malawi's cichlid diversity and specifically their unique feeding behaviors.If you liked Ad Konings' other material, or just want to know more Lake Malawi's Cichlid bio-diversity and how all those fish evolved to develop unique feeding behaviors than look no further!
