Hey AmateurCichlids:

Hey Amateur, I saw in your sig on another post that your site is soon
to become part of fishaholics? Wassup? I had never heard of
fishaholics, but I took a visit and it seems pretty nice -- do you
know any background on these ppl? -- What does Fishahol taste like?

Mark,
Fishaholics is run by Barbie. She's a cichlids and pleco type gal. She's
kept quite few different species and has bread quite a few things. We figure
by combining our forum memberships and by adding my programming ability with
her aquaria knowledge we can put together a pretty decent site. That and she
has a lot of contacts in the aquaria world. Online fish sellers and breeders
who are well versed in aquaria, but have never seen the internet. ;-)
The site will look like a combination of the two sites. We're sticking
with the name Fishaholics, because I got tired of people saying "You
shouldn't be saying you're an amateur." Although I am, since I don't get
paid. Also because the site will be broader based than just cichlids,
Fishaholics makes more sense than AmateurCichlids. We'll cover anything to
do with aquaria. Including marine setups, ponds, etc. I will focus on the
cichlid section of the site of course. =)
We'll also have a section of aquaria photography, underwater photography
and scuba diving. We'll be adding more species profiles and I'll be writing
more articles on my trip to Tanganyika. And in a couple years, I hope to
have pictures from Malawi and articles on that up coming trip. Should see
the new look by the end of next month or sooner hopefully. Although
Cichlid-Forum has pretty much everything anyone could want, we hope to
provide a home for those who are looking for a smaller, more close knit
group. That and we won't be recommending keeping Cypichromis in a thirty
gallon tank as I've seen done on some other sites. LOL.
