"Tanganyika, Africa´s Inland Sea" is a journey to the amazing underwater natural wonders of the deepest and oldest lake in the continent.
Every single photograph was taken in the lake itself, often at depths of up to 40 metres, by award-winning photographer and marine biologist Angel Fitor.
This coffee-table type high-quality work is a very limited edition, hence this essential addition to your cichlid library will only be available for a limited period of time.
This has got to be one of THE most amazing cichlid book ever produced, in terms of the breathtaking quality of the imagery, which includes extreme close-ups of not just cichlids, but all the flora and fauna of the lake. You won´t be amazed, you wil be S-H-O-C-K-E-D !! at just how good this one is.
Of special interest is the documentary-style reporting of how cichlids are caught for the aquarium trade (eg frontosa). Each double-page spread tells the story of a different aspect of how cichlid´s live, feed and breed in the lake, as well as other species and natural history.
The author made several expeditions (sometimes alone) to this increasingly remote and dangerous part of the world (have you noticed how few books have been published on this lake recently ?), risking life and limb (his adventures include snake bites, a week in prison in Zambia and the loss of an expensive lens glass which was scratched to pieces by the Emperor cichlid on the front cover in defence of it´s young.) When you weigh all this up, together with the sheer quality of this book, you will see that the cover price is well and truly justified.
