National Geographic's Lake Tanganyika - Jewel of the Rift

[GaspingGurami]

Hmm... if we can write to NGC, why not ask them directly if they are producing it on VCD/DVD, and let them know there are people out there coveting a digital format. I suppose if they are convinced there is a market for it, it would eventually be out on VCD/DVD yes?

But I understand that the NGC office here is a small outfit that is more geared to getting their programmes to be taken up by cable operators and advertising sales than for selling DVDs as that is normally the "consumer" division's job. So you see, the words "Increasing Brand consciousness" rings the correct bells for these people than "a demand for 100 DVDs", simply because of the economies of scale.

If I recall correctly, the regional HQ of NGC Asia is in HK.

Sorry, folks..

Couldn't resist the temptation so I watched it over the weeekend. In fact, watched it twice. How did I managed to get it? Thru...apparently someone from another forum broke down the file into 36 parts and had it uploaded on his server...

Good right? Otherwise you wouldn't have watched it twice.

So....want to start on cichlids?

Cheers,

Yup...those miniature ones that have evolved to hide in shells... P.S. anyone wants the link to download, please pm me...won't be posting it here

Scenes that I really like

1. the mouth brooding cichlids and the scavenging/parasite catfish. It depicts a scene where the mouth brooding cichlids parents fending out the catfishes and guess what the catfishes also lay the eggs at the same time. In her eagerness to protect her eggs, she ended up scooping up the catfishes' eggs as well and take them as their own and the catfish fries feeds on the fries of the cichlids...

2. The battle between the emperor cichlids and the turtle.

3. The courtship dance of cichlids trying to attract their mate and only have a bird spotting the poor fish because of his courtship dance....scales reflecting sun's ray!

Lastly, learnt more about the lake than I ever before..haha
