Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Lake Tanganyika, ma ka hikina o ʻApelika - ma kahi o 10 miliona mau makahiki i hala. Ma muli o ka neʻe ʻana o ka tectonic, ua ʻike ʻia kahi ʻāhaʻi nui (ka māwae i loko o ka ʻāʻī) i hoʻopiha ʻia i ka wai mai nā muliwai kokoke a lilo i loko. Me ka wai, komo pū ka poʻe e noho ana ma kēia mau muliwai, ʻo Cichlids kekahi o lākou.

Ma luna o nā miliona makahiki o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi noho hoʻokūkū nui, ua puka mai nā ʻano cichlid endemic hou, ʻokoʻa i nā ʻano nui a me nā kala, a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa, nā hoʻolālā hānau a me ka pale ʻana i nā keiki.

ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ka hana hou ʻana o nā iʻa ma nā muliwai no Lake Tanganyika. ʻAʻohe ala e peʻe ai ka palaʻai ma waena o nā pōhaku ʻaʻole, no laila ua hoʻomohala kekahi mau cichlids i kahi ʻano pale ʻē aʻe i loaʻa ʻole ma kahi ʻē aʻe (koe ka Lake Malawi). ʻO ka manawa incubation a me ka manawa mua o ke ola, hoʻopau ka fry i ka waha o ko lākou mau mākua, i kēlā me kēia manawa e haʻalele iā ia no ka hānai ʻana, akā i ka hihia o ka pōʻino e peʻe hou i ko lākou malu.

Loaʻa i ka noho ʻana o Lake Tanganyika cichlids nā kūlana kūikawā (ka paʻakikī o ka wai, nā ʻāina pōhaku ʻole, nā lako meaʻai palena ʻole) kahi i hiki ʻole ai i nā iʻa ʻē aʻe ke ola, no laila mālama mau ʻia lākou i loko o nā pahu. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia manaʻo e koi nui lākou i kā lākou mālama ʻana, akā, he iʻa unpretentious lākou.
