So incredibly annoyed with myself!

OMFG. The BGJD fry were free-swimming today, but the male ate them. So annoyed that I didn't move him to another tank at the weekend. Grrr. Now I have to wait another two weeks to recondition the female and get them to spawn again.

I could kill something right now!

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!
