Feel free to copy any picture you want from my web site. I really don't care. You can even put it onto your web site if you want to, just please don't pass it off as your own work. All of the pictures on this site are of my fish (except those from the Columbus Zoo) taken by me with my camera (Sony Mavica HD-95 2.1 megapixel, or my Sony F717 5 megapixel, or Canon Rebel XTi 400d 10.2 megapixel)
Cichlids from the Lake Victoria basin
I have done my best to correctly identify these cichlids. This is not always an easy task since many of the Victorians are not scientifically classified and may never be. There are too many victorians that look very similar to be sure of every species. And what seems to be accepted in the US may be different from what is accepted in Europe. Genus names in brackets with a question mark (?) are far from certain.
