I would love to become as knowledgeable as these guys - what area of study would I have to go into to learn more about cichlids, and tropical fish in general? How did these guys get where they have gotten, getting to study cichlids in various places around the world? That's what I have always wanted to know. How to become more knowledgeble about different kinds of fish so I can one day be in the fish buisiness and study cichlids around the world.
Sweet pics Mo but I agree with the others that the mayan is a festae. That's one hog of a bifa. Looking forward to more pics.

I know at least a couple of guys who studied biology in college and worked for fish importers/distributors along the way. If you can get to Florida there are tons of fish farms where you could start.
Hey Moe, thanx for putting this together.
I'd love to find out any info on Astronotus crassipinnis. Mainly, is anyone actively spawing these Os in captivity? There were several available a few years ago that all sold to one outfit but, I haven't heard anything about any captive spawnings. Also, is anyone importing them? I'd love to devote a few hundred gallons towards growing some out and trying my hand at spawning them.

Hello:
Mo, I am a long time admirer of your Parachromis, and your site has been invaluable learning tool for me.
I have been catching and breeding Jags in Miami for a couple of years. I would be interested to know if anyone out there has done any research into the Managuense population in S. Florida.
I am of the opinion that the Jags down here are as beautiful and valuable as any wild caught in Central America. I have seen the the IFGA lists a florida caught Jag as the world record at 21.5" and 3 1/2 lbs. I wonder if conditions in S. Florida are such that we will eventually see this as the mainstay habitat for this cichlid.

As always Mo your photography is top notch. Thanks again for doing all this and I can't wait to here back from you and see all the videos and pictures.
