best cichlid references

[ammerman19]

I was just wondering what all you mfkérs ( that looks bad ) thought would be the best reference for finding profiles on SA/CA or all fish for that matter. Websites would be best but I find a lot of them only have scientific names which I'm not very good with . I would like to find somewhere that shows a pic or preview of the fish next the name. I don't know I'm just rambling now but any books or websites would be appreciated thanks.

http://www.aquariacentral.com/species/cichlids.shtml (I don't like their recommended tank sizes though. They all run a little small.)

At this site they are sorted by common name, so for all of those who don't know the scientific names yet it is easier to find what you want.(I am getting there but not yet) Maybe if this gets enough info it could be a sticky post. Unless somebody wants to do what Ash is doing for the africans I think this would be a good post to keep up. Just my 2 cents.

My favorite profile sites are www.mongabay.com and www.aquariacentral.com. For more scientific information try www.fishbase.org

wetwebmedia.com has cichlid pro chuck rambo answering the odd daily faq.

Aatlas is solid for the most part too. i keep photoindex1-5 in the car whenever i go lfs exploring.
