Question
I have a tank with African Cichlids. I have lots of questions, but too make it easy, do you know of some good websites that have a good & straight forward guide to care of cichlids? Thanks in advance.
Here are a few sites that I've found useful.

Expertise
I can answer most questions about American and African cichlids, including sexing, husbandry, and "odd occurances". I have a fondness for underwater plants and planted "display" aquariums. I am very comforatble with the chemical & ecological aspects of aquariums; and can usually explain things simply and clearly.
Experience
I had a cichlid breeding enterprise that I maintained for a year and a half. I've kept aquariums for over 15 years, and worked at aquarium stores for almost 10 years. I currently go to school and volunteer at the Shedd Aquarium. I've done aquarium maintenence (for doctors offices and private homes). Currently, I have a fondness for Geophagus (american cichlids), and am keeping them in a 155gal (paid for by my cichlid breeding venture).
