Hi guys,
    Arin here.  I've been keeping African Cichlids for about 5 years now.  I have bought fish from several breeders/hatcheries in Michigan...a lot of the well known names, over the years.   I used to do a lot of breeding in the Windsor area, but because of people being to cheap here to buy the nice and hard to find species I used to breed....I got out it.   I still have 6-7 tanks running in my house at any given time, but all the fish in them I keep for myself.

   The only fish I am breeding at the moment, are "Lethrinops Albus 'Kande'"  , because I they are just so hard to find  real Albus and I was lucky enough to find really ones which I received as F2 babies.   They are now Juvi sized, but already almost fully colored and breeding like bunnies.  Every 3 weeks, they're spawning, and because of the stunning colors of the fish already, the kind I haven't seen around on anyone's albus, I decided to breed them.

   Now just keep keep the fish for myself, the kinds I like....which are mostly larger Haps and predators (I'd like to build my collection of Predators bigger) and a few of my favorite nice strains of peacocks.

Welcome!  I see a lot of people in Ontario posting adds on other forums that the need certain fish.  Make this your #1 :P but check out others and you maybe able to sell more fry especially if you are willing to ship.

Almost forgot I started this thread, when I first signed up.  I was going to add a couple of videos of some of my Tanks on here, but slipped my mind.  Adding them here now, hope you guys like the tanks.  A lot of time and effort went into building these setups :)
