Cichlids of the rift lakes

Article Abstract:

The unusually high diversity of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika is a puzzle to scientists. Factors which cause such a diversity include the extremely adaptable double jaws which allow them to feed on various foods and not compete with each other, and their habit of caring for their young in their mouth.
