This is my first blog so if you are reading this, thank you and I hope you will continue to follow.
As a matter of introduction, my name is Chris Hopkins. I am a high school business teacher at a small school located in northern Florida. I have been keeping African Cichlids for almost 15 years.
I guess you could say I caught the fish bug from my mother. She always had a 10, 15, or 20 gallong community tank when I was a kid. I grew up, left the house, and went to college and began dreaming of one day owning my own fish aquarium.
I started with a 55 gallon that I kept in the first house my wife and I ever rented post-graduation. The thing occupied almost half the living room! Those were the good ole days.
Over the years the houses got bigger and so did the fish tanks. I added a 30 gallon and a 125 gallon aquarium to the mix and kept them with the 55 gallon for several years.
I eventually sold both of those fish tanks and graduated to a 210 gallon that I currently own and have maintained for about a year and a half.
This blog will attempt to chronicle my previous experiences with Africans and discuss any new issues I continue to discover in this adventure that is fishkeeping.
