Hello everyone. How are we all?
just wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Mick and I have just gotten back into the hobby after being out of it for a few years.
absolutely love the hobby and hope to remain in it for a long time this time around.
I love African Cichlids and Oscars....
these are what I kept before...
Only have the one tank at the moment but will hope to get more in time to come :-)
I live in the Maitland area,28, I am married with 2 kids with a 3rd on the way.
cheers to all for reading

I myself am looking for some elec yellows only looking for smaller ones at the moment...have a few people selling them but dont get to where they are very often...but oh well will get there eventually... but I know what you mean about checking them all the time...I used to do the same thing. it was almost like I made the fish myself..they were like my little babies.. and to watch them grow into nice fish was just the most satisfying thing ever...
