Bad Blackbelt

Amber tells me the male Blackbelt is being thoroughly horrible to the female now, so she's been in hiding this week behind a piece of slate. Seems a bit unfair on her given it was he who messed up the spawn. No idea if there are any babies left. I reckon they probably will have been eaten by now.

Looking forward to picking up the Madagascan cichlids tomorrow or day after. Should be really cool to see Tom's fish house.

Introduction

I have always been fascinated by cichlids. They are among the most stunningly beautiful of fishes; they come in all shapes and sizes (there is a cichlid to suit everyone); and they have some seriously awesome behaviour. Since I started keeping fish 15 years ago I have kept and bred several species, but I never had enough tanks to house all the individual pairs I wanted (and their subsequent fry). In April '08, I was lucky enough to have a space-heated fishroom built into the garage conversion my girlfriend and I were having done. This diary is my way of keeping track of all my fish breeding projects. I hope you find it informative!
