Cichlid Research Home Page: The Cichlid Egg Project

Cichlid Research Home Page: The Cichlid Egg Project

I came across this page while researching an article.

The site, run by Ron Coleman, is a scientific one, and what interested me was "The Egg Project." As our breeder, Nick Lockhart of Cichlids For Dummies has had good success with building egg tumblers, I though this article pertinent.

Enjoy...

Setting Up A Lake Malawi Cichlid Tank

Setting Up A Lake Malawi Cichlid Tank

My breeder, Nick Lockhart of Cichlids For Dummies has done very well with raising cichlids, his first love. Although we now concentrate on discus, he has some of the best looking marble koi angelfish I have ever seen. He seems to have what I call a "wet thumb" (as opposed to a green one) and every fish he touches is a real producer.

Here is information I hope you enjoy. Setting up a cichlid tank is quite easy, and this is a primer...

King Discus

Here is my sister site. It is a bit forlorn right now. Not many posts, I'm afraid, as we are in transition.

Our juvies are pairing off, and we expect fry some time soon. When this is accomplished, you can rest assured that the posts will heat up. Please be patient with us, folks, we are a busy bunch of people...
