Thank you guys for not bashing me for using com names still,Im workin on learning all the real names,just got alot goin on,kinda miss the days when i could sit around and study this stuff more,ill always try to look up the proper names if im asking something that i think you might not get.Used to be on a foreign tarantula site and some ppl were way over board,I love learning the scientific names,but if i couldnt find it these ppl would get so caddy or honestly just pissy. you guys seem to overlook my lack of knowlage and focus on the care of the fish.Anyway i do see the importance of scientific names and hold great interest in them but thanks to all for keepin this a somewhat safe site,seen some agresion on a few threads,kind of enjoyed it,after all we do like cichlids,not realy the most peacefull fish alive.Dang i must have been bored.sorry.:lipsseale

Don't apolgise......well spoken....we like aggressive fish so we tend to get aggressive ourselves.
MFK is for fish keepers of all levels. Threads get heated sometimes but most of the times they are respectful discussions and debates, one of the reasons I like this site so much!
Glad you found a home here with us!

I have to use enough scientific names at school, so I love sticking to the commons here at MFK. I think the commons are better at times, especially when people use the wrong scientific name, then it gets confusing.
I only know a small hand full of scientific names but I'm learning them. Besides, all of us started with common names.

I do that. But Im quite good with scientific names. So long as you know the first part, you know what species it is. Sort of.
