This is a species that I have wanted to keep for a long time. The only stumbling block has been my inability to identify the appropriate composition of the mud they like, since it’s a mud-tunneler.

I anticipate there will be considerable changes to the fishroom over the next couple of months, but I am not certain which direction I’ll go.

I have some exciting news (well, it’s exciting for me). After acquiring new tanks, as well as considerable planning and rearranging, I have some new fish coming soon. What am I getting?

If you have truly been bitten by the cichlid keeping bug, then you’re probably experiencing the “need more tanks” syndrome. I have been there. In fact, after two decades of fish keeping, I am still there. This post is a bit of a follow-up from the previous post.
If you’re like me, you rely on myriad resources to get your cichlid information. I subscribe to multiple serials devoted to cichlids, I search the Web regularly, and I have some of Ad Koning’s books. I’m also a member of multiple cichlid groups on Facebook. In aggregate, these resources have provided a plethora of species profiles and information about both popular species and lesser known fish.
