About Shane
Shane Linder is the "Shane" behind Planetcatfish.com's Shane World. Shane's World houses well over 200 articles by various catfish experts making it the largest such resource known to exist. Shane is also a frequent contributor to several US and international aquarium periodicals and has been a guest speaker at numerous fish conventions in the US and Europe.
He participated in the National Science Foundation's All Catfish Species Inventory, a global consortium of taxonomists & systematists, which resulted in species descriptions for 420 new catfish species.
For over a decade Shane lived and collected fishes extensively in Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, South Africa and Uganda. He has made numerous additional collecting expeditions into Ecuador, Peru and Brazil.

Larry was first introduced to Lake Malawi cichlids in the early 70’s and has been keeping and breeding them since then. The fish room has got bigger over the years and was consumed by these beautiful fish. “Tropical Fish are a full time job for me”. He presently runs almost 100 various size aquariums at home, and has been importing Cichlids from Lake Malawi since 2006 from Sutart M Grant. Stuart was a dear friend of mine who passed away in October 2007. You can see many beautiful underwater pictures that have been taken over the years, 
In January 2003 Cichlid News Magazine published Larry’s article and pictures on the genus Mylochromis. Larry also discovered the interesting feeding behaviour in Sciaenaochromis fryeri and photographing for the first time a new species of Lethrinops sp.”mbenji roundhead” and Otopharynx speciosus at Nkhomo Reef.
