"According to a very detailed article of Heiko Bleher which will be
published in a few days in
aquageographia no. 16, Glossolepis wanamensis is extinct in nature!!!
Reason: Introduction of Tilapia. In a
1995 survey not a single specimen of G. wanamensis has been found in the
lake, but millions of tilapia. "

This is terrible news!! How come it has taken over three years for this
information to get published? My sister Gail has some Wanams and they look
just like the fish in Allen's book - black fins, green colour, but I cannot
vouch where these fish originated from.
