Hi to everyone,
Have been cruising this site over time on occasion and decided what the heck I'll join in the fun!
I am a breeder/keeeper of Livebearers most of which are wild-type some being c.ar.e.s. fishes.
I do keep a few smaller cichlids I could'nt live without; 2 Maronii's (keyholes) and 3 Honduras Red points(See my avitar). I want to add in the future a few Laetacara's C. or A's and a few Servums.
I just like the more mellower fish types and have strived to get some of my Goodieds to co-exist!
I have been into fish since a kid in the 60's and have had to give it up a few times (moving) over the years. I'm now in a position to upkeep 7+ tanks, the largest beeing only a 30g. In the past have had Africans, and 3 types of Apistos, also including kribs, malawi's, Angles, and my favorite of all time has to be the Borellii!
I'm am an active member of a freshwater fish club here in Seattle called
Greater Seattle Aquarium Society.
We've been lucky enough to host some great guest speakers including Ted Judy and Mike Wise
plus others that I'd have to look up.
Hope to hear from others soon!

Welcome to the forum. You'll find both of the speakers you named above lurking around here somewhere.

Right now I have a lone oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) in a 75g tank. I had a few pairs of Pelvicachromis Taeniatus but they were taken by an unknown malady. I still have a 4 year old female taeniatus in my daughters 55g guppy tank. I have 3 tanks empty just waiting for spring.

Thanks Josh, and all who replied! I guess it's time for me to do the same for other newbies!
P.S. I will be adding some "new" dwarf cichlids to my collection as I am a Livebearer lady but still love the smaller cichlids
