I am developing a weekly cichlid newsletter with someone else. I have alot of mbuna pics, but not alot of other African, South American, or Central American cichlid pictures. If anyone would be willing to let me use any of theirs, I would certainly appreciate it. I would cite the picture as yours (either screen name, first name, or first and last name depending on what you were comfortable with). Just let me know and thanks in advance.
yeah... actually all OB peacocks are a mix of two species... it's an Aulonocara malawi mixed with an Mbuna... depending on wich color... say the first one was mixed with a A. Melachromis... and the second one was mixed with a C afra... i had one mixed with a albino labidochromis cereleas... it's been years... kind of fuzzy...
I have pictures of Brichardi's and Bolivian Rams in my profile if you want to use them :-) Neolamprologus brichardi are from Lake Tanganyika in Africa. The Bolivian Ram: Microgeophagus altispinosa, is a South American dwarf cichlid.
Let me know if you use them and where I can see the article.
Actually, a guy contacted me asking if I would be willing to write a weekly cichlid newsletter. The first one is going to be free just so people get an idea of what it is going to be like and if they would be interested in it. I think he will be releasing it in a couple of weeks. I will post on here when it is ready and let you know where to go. I almost have the first one done. Each newsletter will feature a tank of the week (chosen from submissions to me), two species profiles (one African and one American), four articles on various cichlids topics, and some other things that I am still working on. It will be around 14-15 pages. It should be pretty cool actually.
After the first one, I think he is going to charge $7 per newsletter. Of course, when I use someone's picture from this site, I will send them the corresponding newsletter free of charge. I will contact each of you via this website to let you know when I have used your pictures and where I can send the newsletter. This is the least I can do for letting me use your pictures.
Anyway, if anyone has any helpful input for things they would like to see or topics they are interested in, let me know. I have quite a list of articles I am going to write (everything from basic cichlid stuff to advanced things), but I am always willing to listen to suggestions.
Thank you again to everyone letting me use their pics. I really do appreciate it. I will let everyone know how to get the first free one so you can see if you like it and then I will send each of you the corresponding newsletter where I use your pics. Thanks.
