A reminder to all who enjoy the Cichlid Paradise community here. The entire vision and purpose of this website was to create a outlet for us all Cichlid Hobbyist to have a place to share and enjoy each other's experiences, success and in reality the art of these amazing species. We have learned so much about them from one another and one that sticks out is the ability for cichlids to adapt to their environments when need be.
This reminds me of us humans behind these screens typing away. We get all kinds on here and sometimes we have to "adapt" to their unique way to express themselves and their opinions.
I am also remembering the "Big Papa" Cichlid that ran the tank above all others. He would fight any fish who dared to challenge him. But one morning you wake up look in the tank and "wow" "Big Papa" is no longer so big...in fact he is floating on his side barely alive. Seemed the little ones had enough of it and chose to rise up together and put an end to his bully ways.
Funny how so far different but much alike Cichlids and Humans can be the same willing to compromise or willing to put the egos in place.
My husband and I created CP with nothing but peace in our hearts and at no time were we willing to allow drama and nonsense to pollute our work nor the work of others.
This is a peaceful community where others with like intention are welcome. We do not entertain "head hunters" or "site fishing"
We have worked hard on this site hours and years and we are not going to allow anyone to compromise the grounds on which this community was based.
From this point forward anyone choosing to take part in the toxic behaviors of others past we ask that you step out and join them on their sites and leave the rest of CP to our peace and harmonic neighborhood.
Much Respect and great work for those who have been contributing ....

............... d**n beth, your scary when you want ha-ha-ha-ha.
I look forward to them sinking off the web.
I've been one of those people who Mike and Beth have helped through some really hard times. Mike you sure your not Dr. Phil I could have sworn you where lol even as young you are you have been through a lot of crap more than some see in two lifetimes. I guess Jim was not who he claimed to be very sad glad you stopped it before it led to worse we could have lost our entire board. Anyway glad thats over I had my doubts but decided to keep quiet about them. Mom always told me if I had nothing nice to say just to shut the hell up
