[Rudy P]

Hi everybody,
I'm a new member and I would like present me. And first of all, sorry for my bad english
I live in Belgium, I've 35 years old. My wife is Catherine and we have a little girl (2,5 years old), Eugénie. I make aquariophily since 1981 and, during a long time, specially Tanga cichlids.
Recently, I'm interesting by west african cichlids...
Actually, I have: Benitochromis nigrodorsalis, Pelvicachromis subocellatus "Matadi", Pelvicachromis taeniatus "red Nigeria" & Pelvicachromis pulcher (A red morph, Nigeria). All of these fishes are wild.
I've some of non cichlids too: Ctenopoma oxyrinchus, Polypterus ornatipinnis & delhezi, Barbus barilioides, Aplocheilichthys normanni & Microsynodontis batesii. And I always in search of others species... :wink:
I dream of red Hemichromis, Gobiocichla, Pelvica humilis, Divandu, etc. Microctenopoma (labyrinth fisches) and some killies.
What a wonderful passion!

Rudy P,

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Sorry that we missed your introduction for so long! I have moved this post/thread into the Westie section because that seems to be what your area of interest is now. I too feel that westies are great and that it is "a wonderful passion!".

Many of the species that are on your wish list are now available in the US. Perhaps they will be in Belgium soon. Keep your eyes open!

Western African cichlids in Belgium

Dear Rudy,

Hallo, spreekt u nederlands of walloon, alstublieft?

Are you a member of the Belgische Cichlidenliefhebbers Vereniging? Their web site is at http://www.cichlidae.be. Perhaps the members there can help you to find more western African cichlids.

Good luck!

Randall Kohn

If your lfs is willing to order them for you, I can put you in touch with a Czech exporter who has v. good quality DCs, at reasonable prices. I have, at the moment.
If you have a look at my intro. posting, you will find that I have several of the P. Taeniata morphs. If I get some fry, maybe I could send you some.
