On Saturday October 20th 2012 at 10 PM EST, 9 PM CST, 7 PM PST Another episode of the series of Monster Fish programs will be on the Under The Sea Radio Show. This show will feature a type of Cichlid that is endemic to Lake Tanganyika and as shown on the video above on the Under The Sea Radio Show website is definitely one of the monster sized Cichlids from the Family Cichlidae. This Species is known as The Emperor Cichlid Boulengerochromis microlepis that can reach a size about as long as a mans arm. Generally known to reach just over 2 feet in length or 65 centimeters long. This fish should not get confused with another commonly named cichlid the Aulonocara nyassae that is an endemic species to Lake Malawi that only attains a length of about 4 inches or 8 cm long. The Boulengerochromis microlepis is one of the top predatory fish in Lake Tanganyika and due to the massive size many aquarists do not get the oppurtunity to keep this species in their home aquariums do to the aquarium size needed to keep this species.
