Hello everyone I am Frank I live in Jacksonville Florida have for 12 years and I am a good friend of Sams we've been friends for a long time I recently turned Sam on to cichlids and talked him into getting his own tank I look forward to meeting everyone. I already met JB very nice guy gave me a great deal for a lot of really nice stuff Thanks JB I'm glad I could help you out but you helped me out more than you know really I had all my fry in one ten gallon so the extra tanks was a blessing. Frank Hey not a problem we helped each other out. My MTS was just getting a bit out of hand too many tanks and no room. Oh and Welcome aboard glad to have the locals I believe we have 8 or 9 now not sure but as the number goes up we should really consider forming a cichlid club together we can stock our tanks with all kinds of cichlids that we raise and just hangout and have some fun. You have my number so give me a call sometime we can go crash Mike's crib and you can meet him as well ;D JBIt will have to wait till I return from my Maryland trip I'll let you know when its okay to crash my house LOL I need to make a huge boom fire soon since I have debris from 360 or so pine trees scattered around everywhere I could use a hand with all that so he who helps gets to enjoy the huge fire. Oh and bring your own Beer we're not much for drinking so we don't carry that in our frig. All I can offer you is some water, a soda, and maybe if I like you I'll give you an Asbach and Coke but I really have to like you in order to that My Asbach is like my money I don't just give it to anyone. Mike

I have to say its nice hearing that from both Jeff and Frank all I can say is we have been talking fish to the same people for a long time and it is really nice to finally have some more active members here now that we are more active with posts I come here 3-5 times a day where as before I was only showing up once a week or so. Thank you it will mean a lot to Mike to read that. Knowing Mike now for 5 years I know when he reads stuff like this it motivates him and puts him in overdrive when that happens he goes non stop and the productions he creates with the help of the staff are truly amazing. I have seen what he has done stuff not even published yet Anatomy photos dissections of rare species that died he really studies these guys with a lot of passion. I just can't wait what this will spark in him so thank you he's been hearing it from the same folks over and over again so this will really cheer him up. This place is the most relaxed, calm community I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of and I know all of you if you don't already will feel the same after a while of watching what the future will bring. Every now and then we get some folks that mean well but just stress members out but we don't tolerate any BS we want this place to remain homey even with 1,000 members and we have a great staff here that will insure that it stays that way so you always feel like your at home . JB

Hello everyone, I am George, I am new to fish kipping. I started getting in to fish two weeks ago when my friend sold me his 50gall. Aquarium along with filters and a 6in. Frontosa. After researching the frontosa cichlids I could not resist passing this opportunity plus it was cheap. I hope I will get a bigger aquarium for my frontosa and add other African Cichlids. I live in California.

Welcome George glad you found us When adding new species to your Frontosa you should look into other cichlids from Lake Tanganyika that is where they are from and they are a very nice species to own and keep. We have 2 staff members that keep all kinds of varieties of Frontosa species so if you have any questions Pm Cichlidgirl she is a really nice and knows a lot about what you can keep with them. Glad you signed up here we hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions or needs you just feel free to PM me or the other staff members we are more than happy to help you out.
Mike
