Haplochromis pyrrhocephalus (1995)

Haplochromis (Yssichromis) pyrrhocephalus males sparring. These fishes were from Chester Zoo's old breeding stock of these beautiful and highly endangered Lake Victoria cichlids. I looked after these fishes for a couple of years until they died of old age, allowing the Zoo's aquarists to concentrate on successive generations.
bongorob told me this week that one of my photos of this species appears in Volume 34 of the International Zoo Yearbook, which I did not know.

they used the photo without your permission? Or was it a photo you took but which belonged to the zoo?

I sent the zoo some photos after I had I taken the fish and given them time to settle in my tank, as I had promised to do. I had previously taken a lot of photos of them in the off-show part of the Aquarium and sent a selection to the zoo. Now that bongorob has sent me a scan of the article (thank you again :)) I can confirm that it is a photo of one of the males in my front room, probably the one on the right above.
