RE: Lake Kivu

Some years ago, Lake Victorian cichlids were being brought in because of th excitement over the possible extinction of many Lake Victorian species. I can't find many of these cichlids anymore--they were popular for a while but it seemed to be a fad. Around the same time, there were some Lake Kivu haplochromines that were brought in. If you talk to old-timers, lots of fish have appeared in the hobby and almost disappeared for lack of interest. Most of the haplochromines don't have enough appeal and after breeding a bunch of them, they became hard to sell/dispose. You can only sell so many at the club auction, so the prices dropped. LFS carried a few Lake Victorians for a while, but now, I don't remember having seen any in stores in recent memory.

There was recently a brief discussion about these species on the African
Cichlid list at Yahoo, AfrikanCichlids@yahoogroups.com, which delineated 15
species of Haplochromis endemic to Lake Kivu. If any of these were imported,
none of them appear to be commonly (or even rarely) available.

A few years back I was breeding Lake Victoria cichlids and came across the
topic of Lake Kivu (Africa).  I believe there are a number of haplochromine
cichlid species from Lake Kivu that turned up in the hobby in the United
States.
