My main focus is Victorian cichlids. I keep 7 species of Vics.

I don't know how much interest there is in Victorians on this site...but thought I'd post a couple of pictures.

I've found them very easy to care for, both diet and water requirements being simple. A few species I keep are fairly aggressive, but mainly it is conspect aggression.

With the problems in Lake Victoria, and the endangered status of a lot of these fish, I enjoy the breeding that I get from these fish.

Thanks, I live in an area that has a lot of species of these rare cichlids. I'm lucky to be able to keep some.

My goal is to help distribute these fish more into the hobby.

Thanks!! The Neochromis is so hard to get good pictures of. He is very active. His females are orange blotch, which gives that tank a lot of color. One of his females is releasing fry now, so he is lonely without his girls. I removed all the females when this one was holding, because the last time one female was murdered.

I'm supposed to be getting more of the Neochromis next weekend...make a huge colony of them!

Once I get some full breeding going, I hope to spread the fry far and wide. I'd love to get people interested in keeping these fish, breeding and passing them along.
