Please take time to browse through all the various sections on this website, it's free to do and all it takes is some of your time.

You will find a link in the main menu to the BCA forum, again you will find a wealth of information here and the support of many experienced cichlid keepers, not just from the UK but right around the world. Membership of the forum is free, all you need do is register and then you too can join in with the discussions and share your experiences with us.
Finally if you like what you have seen and heard you may wish to consider joining the BCA, the full colour journal Cichlidae (published 6 times per year) certainly provides something for all Cichlid keepers.
