Hi - Welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding your changing of genus Maylandia to Metriaclima in the Lake Malawi article. This issue is discussed on Maylandia. MidgleyDJ 00:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Species of cichlids

Hi -

Regarding your changes to Cichlid, Kullander (1998) estimates there to be 1900 species of cichlids. While there may well be 2000 species, we dont know this yet. Please do not alter Cichlid with information that remains to be verified. If you have a source/reference which estimates (or counts) over 2000 species, I think we should change the article (with the reference) to reflect that.

Ref: Kullander, S.O., 1998. A phylogeny and classification of the South American Cichlidae (Teleostei: Perciformes).. p. 461-498. In: L.R. Malabarba, R.E. Reis, R.P. Vari, Z.M. Lucena and C.A.S. Lucena (eds.) Phylogeny and classification of neotropical fishes. Porto Alegre, Edipucrs. 603 p.
