I've always believed this saying, that the more you know the more you know you don't know.
I refer all cichlid inquirees to Poetic Irony (brandon), Gumbii, and Miami, as these folks have years of experience with them. Never had cichlids, but I do have a ridiculously large number of tilapia, which are similar to cichlids. I'll need to dump many I have into the lake I got them or their parents from and I'm procrastinating because it's hard to let go sometimes. They're such personable fish. Very tame and animated in their courtship rituals.
