my plan to draw a lake, and want to make it as POI's node search. in my research, esp lake tangayika in africa, every side of this lake, have a different species of tropheus, and i got a every side of the lake create a strain. take a look this picture/image http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/figures/1471-2148-7-137-1-l.jpg and i got new species distribution also here, in indonesia, psudomugill gestrudae, with blue and "red" colour.
