Available niche after extinction can lead to sympatric speciation, and this extinction was done due to the arrival of Nile perch into the Lake.

What is the reason of cichlid extinction?

Cichlid collapse was mostly caused by the arrival of Nile perch into Lake Victoria.

Nile perch was introduced into Lake Victoria in the 1950s and was found to be ecologically disruptive, since it wiped out a wide range of species from the lake, causing a shift in the ecosystem.

After extinction, the available niche can lead to sympatric speciation, and this extinction was caused by the introduction of Nile perch into the Lake.

Therefore, there was the creation of sympatric speciation, after the extinction of the cichlid.
