The Hill Country Cichlid Club serves the I-35 corridor including Austin, San Antonio, and the rest of the Texas Hill Country. The HCCC has been around for less than 10 years, but has already made great strides in the cichlid community. The HCCC is the C.A.R.E.S. Preservation Program's U.S. flagship club with many of its members keeping and breeding C.A.R.E.S. species. Club members also enjoy a breeder award program, regular auctions and a rare relationship with local fish stores who not only support the club, but offer discounts to all its members. For more information, visit the Hill Country Cichlid Club website.

If you are involved with a local cichlid organization and would like it to be profiled, please PM Ripple with a paragraph about the club and link so it can be included in an upcoming Club Profile.
