Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum.
I got started keeping cichlids young and my parents were good about supporting my interest.
I'm 48 now and worked quite some time in the ornamental fish industry here in Holland and had my own shop, which didn't do very well, so was forced to quit. Now the fish are just a hobby.
I look forward to finding my way around here.
Thanks for letting me join the community!
