One of the features that would be great to have is a collection of breeding accounts for the dwarf cichlids we are working with. There are usually several ways in which to be successful, so a collection of accounts from different people for the same species would be valuable. Below is an outline for a good, short breeding account. If you are successful with a species, please take some time to submit the information in paragraph form. I will format it and post it in a section of web pages organized by species. If you have pictures... even better! Just submit the account in a text or word document to my email: [email protected]

Count me in!

I have successfully breed three varieties of apistos this year. I haven't kept track of that information but I will now.
