The most comprehensive cichlid blog on the Web!
A few days ago, a school teacher in Pennsylvania reached out to me. Mike Krautzel teaches an elective Horticulture and Aquaculture class at Garnet Valley Middle School. It’s as much a year-round project as it is a single course, which focuses on various flora and fauna around the world. It is such a popular course that hundreds of students sign up for it each year. Mike contacted me thinking I might have some cichlid caves that I would be willing to donate for part of their project.

After you’ve been in the hobby for a while, you will become familiar with some of the cichlid breeders who supply the hobby with fish. My interviewee this time is no stranger to the cichlid community. As an award-winning breeder of quality cichlids, a former president of Michigan Cichlid Association, and current board member of the American Cichlid Association (ACA), Josh Cunningham of Cunningham Cichlids also runs an online retail business.
Though I have never ordered fish from Josh, I’ve known about him for some time. I have seen some of his fish, and they are simply awesome. He is just beginning to give talks all over the country and will be speaking at his first convention, the Keystone Clash in Pennsylvania, September 14-16 on “The Evolution of my Fishroom and Breeding Setups for African Cichlids.” As part of my interview portfolio, I’m trying to increase the number of breeder interviews. I contacted Josh a few months ago and invited him to do an interview for the blog. Thankfully, he didn’t need any convincing. He graciously agreed and here we are.
Let’s get started.
