Hello I just moved to Richmond VA.

I was told this is the site for VA fish fanatics!

So here is my hello!

I have been keeping mainly cichlids over the years and other types of fish as well.

Very cool site!

Welcome to the CCA forum. Glad to have you. Lots of good conversation over the forum. Come to a meeting soon - it's more fun when you know the members. Happy Holidays!

Welcome to the CCA Forum!!! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your fish. Definitely give the meetings a try, I drive from WV without hesitation cause they are THAT good. Great club with amazing members and staff

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I doubt I can make any meetings anytime soon (no transportation). They sound fun though!

Because of the move to Richmond I have to downsize some because of limited space. Basically going from 2 fish rooms to one fish room.

Right now I am keeping the list of fish below. Most are currently available because of the recent move & some tanks too. I will always have some fish around though. Can't live without fish!

Here is what I have:

Malawi Peacocks & Plecos

Hemichromis frempongi

Stomatepia pindu

Astatheros robertsoni

Herichthys deppi

Tomocichla sieboldi

Calico Convict Cichlids

Flowerhorns & Fortune Fish

Sarcocheilichthys sinensis

Vieja hartwegi

Vieja melanurus

A rare new species of Metynnis sp. "Black"

Paretroplus kieneri

Herichthys pantostictus "Tambaque Gold"

Cool list. I'd love to see some pics of the deppi and seiboldi if you have any.

H. deppii

Are the H. deppii still available? About 4 months ago I bought what I thought was a pair that have both dropped eggs since. Obviously 2 females. I have been looking for a male since, but the largest I can find are only 1.5".

Just sent you a message... just have 1 male left... a friend of mine sells fish to J. Rapps, so when he goes to NJ he hand picks fish for me from time to time.
