I don't care what you think about evolution. This is cool!

The solution to this is to turn off the lights... All cichlids are the same in the dark...

It is not a species unless it can’t reproduce with the other breed.
I realize the Darwinist origin-believers take liberties, but good grief.

My husband and I fell in love while working on an exhibit about Lake Victoria at the New England Aquarium, so I have a soft spot for cichlid stories... ;)
I can see this happening as Lake Victoria's become very muddied by surrounding slash-and-burn agriculture (get those folks some GMO crops that can handle the poor soil!) and the choking omnipresence of water hyacynth. Plus the Nile Perch population has really done a number on certain varieties. Their mating habits are dictated by visual cues, color and the "egg spots" on the males' anal fin.

I’ve been watching my aquarium for years, and I’ve yet to see my fish get it on.

I already knew this .. my big electric blue male cichlid evolved into a piranha about a year ago....

If so, it would be the first time that scientists have caught evolution in the act of creating a new species because of changes in sense organs. Silliness. If we lock a bunch of people up in a dark cave and their eyes begin to adapt to the dark so that they see better in the dark does that mean they're a new species? It's like saying that blacks and whites are different species because of pigment adaptation in skin.
