    Thanks for the info! Abidjan is a very nice place. Much cleaner than Douala and more organized. We had a stop-over in Libreville on the way and we had a beautiful sight of the rainforest and rivers as we were landing there. Gabon is definitely a country that I would like to explore a bit.

    I am off to Cote d'Ivoire shortly. Do any of you have some information on catching localities for killies/dwarf cichlids near Abidjan?

    Welcome back Ted! I was back in Cameroon to give some training 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to go fishing again. Looking forward to seeing your pictures and reading of your adventures. Regards Andre

    LOL. Sorry guys, I tried so hard to spell it correctly that I forgot that they are now split up. Are the fish farming mostly in Czech or in Slovakia?

    Hi Jordi You should perhaps look at importing some fish from Czechoslovakia, Germany or Holland. They have a large variety and it will be much cheaper to import from there. I have never seen any Pelvichachromis taeniatus species in South African pethops. The ones that I managed to obtain...

    Hi Jordi I am pretty sure that you have much wider variety of fish in the UK than we have in Cape Town. There are also a lot of paperwork and red tape surrounding the importing and exporting of fish, so I do not think it would be feasible.

    The last picture shows the top of a waterfall. One of the interesting features of the Lobe river is that it has one of the only waterfalls that falls directly into the sea.

    I went to Kribi again 2 weekends ago. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at home so I had to borrow one from my colleague. We did not catch fish, although we did go for a quick trip in a canoe.

    Pungu F1?

    Hi Jeff Congratulations on the spawn! These fish are more and more difficult to find in Lake Barombi. I went there with a local man who catches fish for Oliver and before our visit he had been there 4 times without catching even one. I looked at your tank and must admit that it...

    Both are from Lake Barombi. I am not an expert on the fish from the lake, so I'm not too sure about the first one, but the second one looks like Stomatepia mariae to me

    Two more pictures. I am struggling to upload the videos from here.

    Greetings from Cameroon

    Heh :) I finally managed to get approval to take a car out to Kumba. We were told that the road to Kumba is very bad, and boy were they right. From Douala you take the bridge over the Wouri, through Bonaberi. Then you drive through Tiko and turn off at Mutengene. From there the road up...

    P. taeniatus variants

    Hi Mike The pictures above were taken during the dry season. I would have gone to Lake Barombi this weekend, but I'm having transport problems. Maybe I should go back there on Saturday and take some wet season pictures to compare? Something else that was interesting to me was that the...

    P. taeniatus variants

    Hi Mike Some parts of the river has faster flowing water, but we did not find any pelvicachromis there. The fish prefer the slower moving sections. The river has a lot of vegetation along the river banks which provides a habitat for various killiefish. I normally see the...

    South Africa?

    Hi Bob I am from South Africa. Unfortunately there are not too many hobbyists/breeders actively keeping/breeding dwarf cichlids, although there are a few. Please ask the person to contact me, as I am trying to organize a shipment of fish from Cameroon to South Africa at the moment. If...

    P. taeniatus variants

    Hi Mike The locations are just a general indication of where the fish come from. For instance, I the "Moliwe" are caught just off the road at the road going to Moliwe. None of the localities that I have found Pelvicachromis have been salty at all, however I have observed Hemichromis...

    Greetings from Cameroon

    What was interesting to me was that most of the Benitochromis and Pelvicachromis were swimming in the open over the sandy bottom. I guess that during the rainy seasons they find caves in the flooded sides of the river to spawn in.

    Greetings from Cameroon

    In fact I did take some Killies home with me. They even survived the horrible roads back home. I was wondering about their scientific name, but soon realized that I had a bunch of Epiplatys houdinii. Most of them managed to jump my "tank" even after I added a net over the top. I have...

    Greetings from Cameroon

    Ok.. It's been an eventful time since my last update. As some of you might know, there was some political unrest in Cameroon a few weeks back, so I had to return to South Africa for a while. In any case, today I finally managed to go fishing again. Seeing as we could not organize company...
