Hey guys. I've been a member of CCA for about a month now and felt guilty about not introducing myself. I just started a new tank after taking a 7 yr hiatus. I felt something in my life and knew what it was. My African cichlids. Cheezy right? Who cares. Just happy to have found this...

Wherein Scott conducts a hideous experiment to prove to everyone that you can have a fully stocked "New Botanical"-style tank without "the tint..." Ok, I know, we've had the discussion about "tint" versus "clarity" and all...However, let's face it, one of the top questions I field here is...

So my SajicaX-Convict or SajicaVict cross pair finally broke up and stopped their infertile routine of laying eggs and watching them turn white.... The female SajicaVict isnt getting any younger so she finally had enough and went across the 240 gallon to a regular convict male that can get the...

Did water changes a few days ago. Went downstairs tonight and I was pumped to see I had 3 different species of fish holding. Pheno tanz, albino fryeri, and a red exasperatus. Can't wait till fry time! Then I went back upstairs to see one of my mbuna in the all male tank that sex had been...

I got another piece from Rachel at the last meeting. It's the one on the top. I just love how this looks. Let's see how you've used manzanita!

Well I love them, anyway. No love between them . . . yet Here are two shots of the four juvies I recently got from Congressional. They are hilarious They squabble with each other and are sort of feeling their wild oats, and generally annoying the big mama keyhole, who is not doubt wishing one...

I've had a lot going on in my tanks....lots of new fish growing out and some starting to pair up. All of them came from people in this club... Ok, three came from Sam...one came from Jon via Sam.

Hi there, I'm Alexandra and I just joined Capital Cichlids today. My goal is to connect with fellow fish lovers and hopefully broaden my cichlid knowledge past Angel fish. I have three tanks. One is filled with a mated pair of angels, some rainbows, some tetras, and a black ghost knife. I have a...

My name is Jesse. I live in southern Maryland and have fell in love with the hobby. I started off with 16 red devils from a friends fry and it's been all good since. I am down to 1 10 inch Red Devil and have moved on to my new fascination of African Cichlids. I now have about 20 different ones...
