"Excellence Through Experience"

Greetings from the Babes In The Cichlid Hobby!!

We are seeking donations for the Ninth Annual - Babes In The Cichlid Hobby Silent Auction. It will be held this year at the American Cichlid Association Annual Convention, in Atlanta, GA July 17 - 20, 2008.

The code word is awareness! Although it is difficult for hobbyists to make a direct impact on declining cichlid habitats, it does not mean you can’t make a difference in the future of cichlid fish keeping. By spreading awareness to other hobbyists they will realize that tying up a tank with something invented in Asia is a waste of good tank space. Many times it is just because they are not aware. The Babes In The Cichlid Hobby believe that it is our duty to spread awareness, and to tell fish keepers about the ACA and its research and conservation efforts. All hobbyists should be aware of the importance of maintaining at least one cichlid that is listed as: critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable on the ICUN red list and/or a cichlid on the ACA CARES Species Conservation Priority List. If we don’t maintain these “at risk speciesâ€
