Hello CCA,
My family and I have recently moved to Gaithersburg from Sacramento, CA and it would be great to get involved with other "cichlidiots" in the area...
I've been keeping fish since I was a kid (over 20 years) and have kept and bred everything from Belonesox to Bujurquina Those of you who attended the ACA in Sacramento probably saw some of my fish (the Aequidens diadema that placed 1st, the bi-color 500 peacock that placed 2nd, and the Pindu that placed 3rd)...
Before moving out here, I tore down my (garage) fishroom in CA and sold most of my fish, so (other than a couple of boxes that I brought with me) I'm starting fresh.
I've kept most cichlids but always seem to come back to mid-sized central and south americans. And weird livebearers. My wife wishes that I like something other than brown and gray fish that hide a lot.
I'm in the process of setting up a fishroom in the basement of our new place. I really enjoy designing and building my own stands, filters, etc. My fishroom in CA had an auto-water change system that I plan to re-create here...
In the next couple of months I'll begin to re-build my fish collection...hopefully some folks in the area have some tips on tracking down some quality stock.
Best wishes,
Matt Quinn
