I love this site. I have been on cichlid forum, but everyone on there is from so far away. I'm glad to have found a site with local people.

I am getting the fish jitters. All I have in Jackson is Petco and Petsmart. There is another little fish shop 20 min away, but all any of these places have is a selection of 5 species or so. I didn't know there was this much out there.

Those places are great for a quick fix, but for something really unique you have to dig deeper.

I bought The Cichlid Lexacon one Christmas for my husband. It is AMAZING how many there really are. The book is so colorful and tells where each fish is from and when it was discovered. I need to find it in case anyone needs any information.... The only bad thing about it is, they do not use any common names so trying to figure out if you are looking at the correct fish can be confusing.

I have a library of 27 books. The best guide for common names is cichlidforum.com. Or post the proper name on here. I might try to start a forum here to put names with common names.

I will gladly help but I am sure i wouldn't be much help for you ;P I miss my old tanks, we are down to one and it will more than likely be a while before we have another... sigh

There's one tiny little shop where I live and they usually have a couple small tanks of cichlids but they're usually the same every week. Nice people and they're fish enthusiasts, but very limited on selections.

Same all over. Can't help going back . Can't help being disappointed when there's nothing new.
