March 2007: From the environment of Lubumbashi, the second largest city the Congo comes Gnathonemus longibarbis to us. They were caught in close proximity to Bondaka and are probably for the first time in the trade. In nature they feed on water insects and their larvae, their final size probably lies at approx. 40cm. Since only very few of these rare pieces were imported, they should get into the hands of experienced Mormyrid fans.(Photo F. Schäfer, Text K. Diehl)
