notes: I use the term “discovered“ to indicate when Non-Africans first saw the lake, this unfortunately perpetuates colonial biases in a story that is decidedly anti-colonial, it is something that I am working to contemplate and change in my newer content.
Lake Victoria was once home to over 500 species of African Cichlid. However, when Nile Perch were introduced in the 1960s, 200 went extinct. Today some species are only found in aquariums, including home aquaria. At the time of making this video I have 5 species of Victorian Cichlids, The Christmas Fulu, Sp# 44 Thick Skin, Zebra obliquidens Juma Island pundamilia nyererei, and pundamilia macrocephala
