Hi everyone I have been breeding cichlids off and on for 32 years. now that I have a house and not an apartment I can do much more.
right now I have a few fish breeding
aulonocara baenschi (Sunshine Peacocks)
cynotalapia afra white tops
veija fenestratus (window cichlid)
paralbidochromis sp. (rock kribensis)
cichlasoma amazonarum (amazon cichlid)

most of what I breed I learn from on line sites and word of mouth. I have a friend who owns a pet shop and he specializes in cichlids. he is also into breeding some cichlids of his own. he is also a consultant for environmental concerns, wetland restoration and installation. he has taught me alot. I was really wishing I could go on a trip he is taking to Brazil this Nov. to learn about earth-eaters. some one will have to tell me how to download the pictures. I used my Kodak easy share camera and i got some nice pictures but i can't get them on here. if someone can help me with that I will send lots of pictures. i in Oshkosh, Wi. USA

Welcome ! Its great to have you here as a member. If you would like to try to upload pics like i do then get yourself a free photobucket acct. upload your pics from your computer to photobucket. when you have a pic you want to post here then you right click on direct link for that pic (it will say copied) then you come back here to your post and click on the image icon (above the frowning face icon). Left click the cursor directly between the two img img icons and then right click to open the paste button, click on paste. then finish the post. You can repeat that as many times as you like to load up as many pics in each post as you want.

Thats ok LOL. You should have seen me when i first started talking on these websites. Im not a particularly computer literate person LOL. It seems complicated but after you do it a few times its easy. First time i loaded a pic into a post i had to have my teen daughter do it for me and i just watched and had her write down step by step directions LOL Now im a picture freak.

I have been breeding cichlids for a little over 2 years now.

Instead of naming everything I have breed I will show you in this link.

I currently work with African cichlids only. Eventually I will get into the Neotropical fish.

Currently reside in Marengo Illinois

I don't do any research myself but I am planning on donating to Dr. Ron Coleman's egg project.

Impressive set up for only 2 years. If you want a suggestion for Newtropicals, I can tell you a few that are great starts.

Hi--

My son Will and I are members of the ACA and I have friends that are ACA members and purchase my stock pretty much from ACA members and people they recommend. We breed mostly rare cichlids, we have bred and sold lots of meat and potatos Malawi in Ohio.

Currently we have bred--
Ramphochromis macrophthalmus, I still have four juvies left, sold breeders, probably will not breed again
