introduction

Hi all, I'm Sue and I live in DC. I'm new to aquarium keeping although my dad always kept freshwater tanks when I was little. I have two boys in elementary school and am starting a tank with them in mind. I have a 20 gallon long tank with just a few male guppies while cycling. I'd love advice on...

Hello! Just started on this forum and wanted to ask for some advice. I have recently got into the hobby of keeping fish, I set up my tank (15g, I have sand substrate a hob filter and heater, basically all start up supplies) and have a common goldfish as well as an oranda, but when I started to...

Hi Everyone - New to the forum, been getting my information from tons of places - looking for opportunity to find info closer to home. I have a 110 gallon tall, tank with the following in it: 4 Red Zebra 5 White Top Hara 5 Acai 5 Rusties 3 Saulosi Had the tank for 3 months now...

I am contemplating picking up a female midas for my male and was hoping someone could suggest the easiest way to introduce them. Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated. My male is appx 10" and is very playful and active. He loves showing off for us and he also loves to play around...

If you're looking for something to do tomorrow, check out the ACLC meeting. They're having a talk on Rainbowfish and Blue-Eyes. They're also now using My Group Auctions so take a look and see what's going to be there! If you do head up, keep in mind that they no longer meet at That Fish...

Hi everyone, My name is Andy Magoulick. I am in Livonia, Michigan. I am interested in planted community aquariums, specializing in rare Echinodorus and Cryptocoryne genus. I am currently keeping angelfish, discus, Apistogramma cacatuoides and convicts. I have some Psuedotrpheus acei...

Fish Pals, I'm Andrew and I live in Northern Virginia near Leesburg. Used to work in a pet shop back in the '80's in high school and had numerous tanks with two 55's being the largest. Mostly africans and angels and such. As time went by, the tanks slowly "didn't get set back up" after...

I have a 13" LaCieba yellow head male. And a 6" female. I have them in a 75 divided with a quick getaway hole for her. He is hyper aggressive. I'm not kidding. And for the fish I keep that says alot. Other than the dividers that I have in place what other precautions do I need to take to keep...

Hi, my name is Becca and, after 7 or 8 years out of the hobby, I'm getting back into working with small aquariums. I got my start as a wee child with carnival goldfish, built my first koi pond in high school and a second (with help) in college. While earning my undergraduate degree I worked at...

My name is Sean and I live near Lake Anna VA. I specialize in discus, aquatic system design and filtration. I am trying to grow my breeding program and look forward to talking with everyone.

Great Forum! I just signed up and looking forward to participating in some great discussions here as soon as I catch up with the reading and find a little bit of free time to chat

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...

Many of you I already know and can even remember some of your names. Been a CCA member for a while, spring I think, and finally got around to the forum thing. Breed Angels, Discus, Bolivian Rams, Pink Convicts (wild Discus food), and working on a bunch of others. Never met a fish I didn't...

I just thought I would introduce myself. I joined the association on the Oct. 9th meeting. I have to admit I was impressed by the speaker and the topic......even though I don't keep angelfish. It did give me some ideas about line breeding some of my Tanganyikans. Anyway, I hope to meet more...
