The cichlid fishes of Madagascar, Lake Victoria, and other habitats
have been on our planet for millenia, but without your help many
of them may not be here in the next decade. In fact, more than
200 species are already extinct and dozens more face extinction.
It may come as a surprise to many that these fishes are some of
Africa's most endangered animals. If the current trend is to be
reversed and these fishes preserved, they will need help from
field conservationists, zoos, and YOU - the fish hobbyist.
