What's The Diffs?

[Ludwig Venter]

When I started with tropicals (approximately 1970)..... Malawis were never heard of..... there is now such abundance of 'em, and yet, they are classified as "old" world.... How do we differentiate???

 

[degsod]

I always assumed it was where they came from i.e. the new world cichlids come from South or Central America (the new world)
