Dwarf ciclids in Gabon?

[P.W.]

Going for a business trip to Gabon next month. Anybody having some idea what to find there?
Really would be interesting to bring some nanochromis or pelvicachromis species home!!

Any idea´s about regulations in Gabon for bringing out fishes and plants?

I´m mostly into SA-dwarfs so my knowledge about west african cichlids are quite limited. I have had N. Nudiceps and N.Tranvestitus many years ago though.

Best regards/ Per

Dr. Anton Lamboj presented a wonderful slide show on collecting in Gabon at the Denver ACA Convention in 2004.

Hi

I´m back from Gabon, but without any fishes in my luggage.
I spent one week there, but unfortunately there were no possiblities to go into the land to look for fishes.
I spent all my time in the capitol city, Libreville. Very interesting and beautiful country though. Fascinating to see what big resources of oil and manganese can do for a country.
