Hello All! My name is Jonathan, living in Woodbridge Virginia, near the Lake Ridge area. I'm excited to be part of a local organization that is dedicated to African Cichlids! I just recently retired from the United States Air Force. Keeping fish has always been a hobby/passion of mine since I was a child, but being in the military has made it difficult for me to support my hobby due to numerous deployments, moving to different bases every 2-4 years, and countless field exercises. Now that I can say with some certainty that I'll be staying put for a long time, I am dying to get this hobby of mine started back up again!
I currently have a 110 gallon extra high tank with Mystic White Pool Filter Sand mixed with Carribsea Crushed Coral. My filtration is a Fluval FX6 Canister Filter, Eheim Jager 250W Heater, Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED+ lighting system, Holey rock decorations from Universal Rocks. The tank is still in its cycling process, but I already have my "Fish Shopping List" and can't wait to flood my tank with beautiful African Cichlids!
I haven't even stocked my display tank, and I'm already thinking about starting a breeding colony, lol! Are there any other cichlid breeders out there nearby? If so, hit me up let me know what you're breeding, and maybe I can breed a species that others aren't and we can get some trading going on here!
Anyway, I am really excited to be a part of this forum! Happy Memorial Day!
