Based on a recent thread, Chris (chriscoli) and I hatched a plan to sit together and get some food a little bit before meetings, and make another opportunity for people who are new or want to make more social connections in the club (like us) to meet others. So at the September meeting, Chris...

I guess I belong to too many forum if I can't recall if I've introduced myself but... I was prompted to post so here goes. After 20+ years out of the hobby, jumped back in with both feet back in Feb.. the 5th to be exact. Last week, I finally had my first brood of Angels. A big ol...

So I got my first school of fish on Saturday. :D I am not sure what they are, to be honest. There were a large group in the tank at the store and he said they are all African cichlids that get along well. And they were on sale. I am pretty sure they are: 2 Red Zebras (red) - Mr and Mrs...

Hi all. I'm new to this - after watching a Mutant Planet episode on African cichlids with my 4-yr old daughter (who loves animals, like me) I went out and bought a 70G tank. We are psyched to start buying some African cichlids this weekend. I have some starter questions that you may be able...

Hi, I am new to this site and I am relatively new to fishkeeping though I do already keep a lot of fish. I live in the Perry Hall area and I have cichlids, goldfish, and discus mainly, but I have many other fish (I could give a whole list, but that might take a little while) :D Anyway, I think...

Hi all. My husband and I started keeping cichlids about 2 months ago, have learned a lot so far, and I'm really pleased with the huge variety of resources and groups that are out there, including this local group! I haven't gotten the opportunity to make it to a meeting yet but am looking...
