so Furu is like the word mbuna?

I do not think that article makes it worse... If anything it clears up or further pushes the ideas we have already discussed great read...

So I guess we will refer to vics as Furu from now on... well the type in this thread...


No matter what we should do our bests to help each other to get the names right and spread these fish... I will set aside some space to do an all male tank to help...


someone contact my wife and explain the need please...

The fishermen from Lake Vic seperated the cichlids into 3 groups. Furu (Haplochromis) Komaga (Astatoreochromis) and Sato (Oreochromis).

Furu is further split into 3 subgroups, Mgobegobe (large mouthed piscivores) Mbipi (rock dwelling cichlids) and all others (group not named in the text I am reading).

So I would throw in my assumption that the Astatotilapie is consider part of Haplochromis? Sounds good to me.
