It’s so hard to find these kinds of videos for freshwater! Awesome!

Absolutely stunning. Very clean footage! So interesting to watch cyphotilapias in their natural habitat.

Thanks Burgundydudu.

Great, thanks for sharing Hans!

It's beautiful but at the same time weird seeing fish we keep in our tanks at home in their natural home

I wonder who (and why) pressed "dislike". What a nonsense! Great video, thank you!

Amazing Video…from my travels across Africa I’d never have thought to bring a mask and fins! Isn’t this lake where Gustav the man-eating crocodile lived? How prevalent are crocs there where you dive?

Hi, it’s not always save to dive and ore snorkelling in Africa. There are many diseases in the rivers and lakes like Bilharzia. I have seen many crock’s but mainly in the rivers. In the lakes the are mainly active around the river deltas where the rivers flow into the Lakes. Unfortunately I couldn’t get them on video I mean off ours the smaller ones 🤪best greetings

cool seeing freshwater sponges on the rocks in a lake with fish that can pass as saltwater reef fish.

The sponges make it really look more like a marine environment then a freshwater lake

Sorry for my late reply. This is Perissodus straeleni how evolved in a scale eater and mimic indeed frontosa to come closer to his prey.

What is the temperature of the water at depth? *Why do African cichlids need warm water if they swim at a depth of several hundred meters?!*

At Wikipedia you find your answer. Check Lake Tanganyika, Water characteristics. The water temperature is at that depth nearly the same. Below 150 meter is no oxygen in the water and therefore no fish check Wikipedia

Wonder if there has ever been a submersible sent down to the greatest depth (1400 m) in the lake`s northern part.

There are termal vents in some regions, but not as strong as lake baikal's to oxygenate water at that depth. At 200m it is already quite dark.
