Taken the Plunge

[seanwelsh1]

I have decided to get into Madagascan Cichlids as i have always had a bit of a fascination for them

I normally keep SA/CA cichlids but have decided to turn on eof my 4 x 2 x 2 tanks over to these intresting cichlids.

Yesterday i Bought 2 Paratilapia polleni Small Spot and 6 Paretroplus maculatus.The largest of the group is 2" and they have all settled in well

I will get some pics up soon

Apart from this place could some one recommend a few sources of info other website , books etc

Many Thanks
