| 2009-11-06 | heidi | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | It is great to have a site like this where I can go to ask for help. And that the people actually know what they are talking about. Because of the answers that I get here it helps me learn something new and to inprove my skills when it comes to this hobby that I have decided to pick up just a little over a year ago. I have learned so much by asking questions and getting the right answers and by reading over previous questions that people have asked. Thank you all so much for all the help that you offer to everyone it is amazing that you take time to do it and I hope that you keep it up. |

| 2009-10-26 | Allie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much for the suggestions! I got another balloon molly from the store and she was sick within 24 hours, so i dont think i will be getting any more of them. As for the convict cichlids... i found your page about convict cichlid care (i didnt know it was yours until the bottom) and think that they would be a better candidate than mollies. I greatly appreciate your help! Thanks again! |

Ron Coleman
Expertise
I am an expert on cichlid fishes, particularly New World cichlids. My broader expertise includes the behavior, ecology and reproduction of fishes in general. (I am NOT an expert on Goldfish). Please do not use abbreviations, such as "my GT has a swollen eye" because I don't know what a "GT" is. The more clearly you can explain your question, the better chance I have of understanding what it is that you seek. I keep fishes both as a scientist and as a hobbyist and I currently maintain about 140 aquariums.
Experience
I am an Assistant Professor at the California State University, Sacramento in the Department of Biological Sciences, and I run a website, called the Cichlid Research Home Page
