Evolution & Speciation in the Laguna de Apoyeque

November 2007 - Nicaragua


Axel Meyer, Heiko Bleher & companions did research in the crater lakes of Nicaragua in 2007 and found in the Laguna de Apoyeque some very interesting forms of Amphilophus with Heiko Bleher's discovery of one particular amazing and colourful one. This videos shows in short a resume of how the Amphilophus forms dwell and nest in the lake and their habitat. In addition one can see the fight to survive, everyone tries to eat the offspring of the others and it can be seen how evolution and speciation is in full swing. This is possibly the first underwater film of this very difficult to reach Crater lake in Nicaragua and shows also for the first time all 5 forms living in it and in detail at the end of the film, including and amazing Amphilophus cf. labiatus.

Image I just returned today, June 10th, 2010, from the funeral of Fang Fang Kullander, the wife of Sven O. Kullander, an amazing ichthyologist whom I have had the honour to become friends with. We had been together on several Ichthyological Congresses around the world, the last time in Perth, Australia, at the 8th Indo-Pacific Fish Congress , hardly a year ago when she felt fine and looked great... I met Fang Fang for the first time at the  Ichthyological Congress in Trieste on 29 August 1997 and we had immediately an understanding...

Bleher's Biotopes in Nature and in Aquaria - 2

Image 2nd Volume of Heiko Bleher's new yearly publication. It shows again the real aquatic world in nature, the expeditions to collect life aquatic creatures and plants, to bring them back alive and introduce them into the most beautiful hobby in the world. Heiko wants for readers to see how fishes live naturally and how they should be kept in aquaria, for people to have the healthiest, nature-like environment in their home, office or school. To stimulate every nature and animal lover to have (or create) a biotope-correct-aquarium. In order to appreciate the aquarium even more, and to have their fishes feel like “at home” in such a natural environment.

 

This is the second volume with new biotopes from 4 Continents, is now available again only in English and only on-line to download...

Volume 1 – with about 3000 photos, paintings, drawings and around 50 maps...
