Malawi sponges

[joecoulson]

In keeping with the accurate (as well as I can) theme of the Malawi tank I have, I want to add something to the aquarium I have yet to see anyone else do. There are sponges endemic to lake Malawi (and Tanganyika) that I have yet to see for sale or trade within this hobby. I was wondering if any of you have heard of them even being available and if you have heard of anyone keeping them?

I know this was asked last year sometime, but you never know if things become available or more people join this website.

I've never heard of these, but I'm interested, and would like to know more. I'll try to do some research, and check back if I find anything.

have to hit importers and tell them you want them. They can get with their contacts and help you out.

Can you point me in the right direction? And have you heard of anyone having success keeping them alive in aquariums?

I have not heard of it, but I do a search on google. I would try Greg at little africa aquatics
