The Cichlid Room Companion

by **Dan Woodland** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 5:15 pm

I'm Dan Woodland from the north coast near Cleveland, Ohio. I've been raising Cichlids for over 30 years. I have 35 tanks, most house tank busters as my good friend Lee pointed out, and I've been on 10 collecting trips since 1998 and plan on many many more.

My best friend is Jake, of course.

here's one of me after my first throw with a casting net in Uruguay - last January. I am quite wet, because I first had to loosen the net from some wood (NOT my throw) but it was succesful

It has been my first colecting trip, but not my last - I intend to go next January again, there's more of Uruguay to see

Ah, the woes of cast netting! Always make sure you are the thrower not the throwers “bee-atch”! :lol:

This is the hubby and I the day after we got married in Las Vegas, two years ago. Too much sun, too much walking and we still can't get those stupid smiles off our faces.

Famous last words "but honey, it's only like an inch on the map at the hotel, three miles later, in August!"

We live in Spokane, WA, within a couple hours drive of the Canadian border and a half hour from Idaho. We only have 3 dogs, a cat and 22 tanks at the moment. I love being in the company here. You guys make me feel downright normal!

Hi

Medeiros? That´s a portuguese name! By the way, there is a wild population of Xenopus in Oeiras, probably besides the one in England it´s the only other one in Europe.

by **Christophe de Medeiros** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 4:44 am

Hi,
de Medeiros is originated from Madeira isld, Funchal more precisely but my family came from Evora. We also have a wild population of X.laevis in France.

I just realized that I haven’t posted any pictures of myself, but now I have a good opportunity: friday morning I became the proud father of a beautiful and healthy little girl. Me and my daughter two hours after she was born:

Isn’t she cute?
