June 29, 2025: Freshwater Collecting Trip

If you haven't done so yet, please sign up if you plan to join us. Deadline to sign up is Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

It will be a great day of fun in the sun potentially seeing (and maybe collecting!) rainbow, fantail, and green side darters, rosyside and blacknose dace, and numerous shiners.

Please be sure to purchase your license before the collecting trip. You will need the Non-Tidal Freshwater license regardless if you plan to collect or take fish home.

Getting started… What to do?

Hi everybody,
I have a 75 gallon tank and I want to keep African cichlids. I am dithering over whether to get Tanganyikans, peacocks, or even relatively peaceful Mbuna. I think I’m aware of the pros and cons of various options, but I thought maybe I could get some advice from experienced folks on how to get started in this? If I want a tank that will be fun, relatively relaxing, and not drive me crazy because the fish outgrew the tank or started killing each other, what’s a good way to go? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Jerry
