I love reading everyone's posts, and love learning! Every time someone posts about these fish with te scientific name I have no clue what it is, and hope for a picture or I have to google it. I feel so dumb lmao!

No you're learning. dumb is not know what scientific names are and just common names.

I agree. When I try to tell people @ the pet store I work at about fish they look at me like I was talking some foreign language. lol :o

I was asking the MANAGER at a LFS about the sponge filter and he was scratching his head, had no clue or even heard of what I was talking about?!? And these people sell fish lol

The only time I go to lfs is to take the fish lol

I still end up googling some species, but every time I hear about one I don't know I read a profile or care sheet about it along with looking up a picture.

im always seeing new species ive never heard of as well. after a little while you will start to see a few scientific names over and over and start to recognize them. once you get those down then you get totally thrown off by the capture points. it can be overwhelming but you'll get there. learning is never dumb, once you stop learning thats when you become "dumb." google images is the whip when it comes to this stuff

You might try going to the cichlid forum on line, or better yet get the book LEXICON OF CICHLIDS by TFH.

If you think about it, there are likely thousands of different species of cichlids alone. Like anything else, it takes time to learn about this hobby, and as long as you're asking questions or doing research, you're heading in the right direction. ;D
