I'm new to this forum and group. I'm a Baltimore native and I've been keeping fish for well over 20 years. I have always been interested in unique fish and at one point had over 300 gallons of aquariums. I had to move and broke down most of them and am just now setting up some of my old systems. Cichlids will be a major focus. I currently have several tanks up and running-- including a new 55 that is cycling. I will be moving my African mbuna into it this weekend and am hoping to expand into some other species in the coming months. I am hoping that being active in the CCA may lead me to find local breeders for some of the species I hope to work with. Some friends and I attended the event in Gaithersburg this past weekend and had a great time.
