Hello from Naval Academy/Annapolis Area

[Maryland Guppy]

I have been lurking here for months. I belong to many other aquatic forums but
wanted something closer to home.

Been in this since 69/70 breeding convict cichlids. 80's was a SW transition.
Now it is planted tanks for me with little concern for the fishes.
I still keep fish just small groups of livebearers.
I would like to breed some of the more colorful shrimps though.

Heavy into DIY LED lighting, fertilizer composition and such.

About 250 gallons worth of tanks right now.
They are all a jungle with no real order or specific look.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! You should come to a meeting. I think we're going to have a presentation on aquascaping next year.

Welcome, hope to see you at one of our monthly meetings. Come and ask questions.

 

[Maryland Guppy]

Thanks for a warm welcome, most forums are not so polite!

What's with the usernames in Red, Blue, Green, Black etc...?
I assume Red is an Admin/Web and the others?

How to add a user pic / icon pic?

Awaiting moderator approval always shows up for a post.

Is there a sticky thread that describes all of this?

 

[Frank Cowherd]

I think it is code for who has the most fish. LOL

Green = CCA members. https://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/account/upgrades

In addition to supporting the club and it's monthly meetings (cost of meeting space, speakers, etc.), members of CCA can access additional parts of the forum, attend the club summer BBQ and Holiday Party, sell in the monthly auctions, get discounts at sponsor LFS, participate in club group buys with sponsors and other vendors, participate (and win auction bucks) in the club Breeders Award Program (BAP) and other benefits.

Guests are more than welcome at club meetings and online but it's the best $20 (less than $2 per month) you'll ever spend on the hobby!

Blue are board members, red are admin, black are forum members but not paid club members.

There should be an icon to the right of the pager headers (to the right of 'DONATION' and to the left of the symbol with a down arrow) which is a link to your profile page where you can change the pic and many other details.
