News

I'm sure some of you have noticed that the uppdates of this web site have not been as frequent as before. I have been getting quite a bit more work than normal for the season but dont give up on me. I have a whole buch of new articles coming in and of course a pile of photos.

However The Cichlid Room Tour has been growing a bit even during holliday season. I really hope that there are several more cichlid room keepers out there ready to contribute. After all this web site today has an averege of 500 to 600 visitors a day so you will be exposed.

I am getting a little too many E-mails with questions about keeping cichlids. I hope that those who have not recived an answer are able to understand that it would be impossible for me to answer all such e-mails. Please ask the questions in the forum instead. I personally check the forum at least twice a week.

I am working very hard on trying to make a trip to Lake Tanganyika some time October-November this year. There are a lot of things that need to work out right but thats what Im working on. This really would take the content of this web site to a new level I think.

best regards,
Fredrik H.
