Best Sicklid site?
Looking for some help IDing some of the various sicklids I am coming across. What is the current most knowledgeable sicklid site?

Re: Best Sicklid site?
the cich lidroom companion (I alway happen to hit the spacebar typich cich lid on this forum ) is by far the best site. In fact it is the only serious site about cich lids, in English I know of.
Still, the problem is, you are in territory where not much collecting has been done. I'm sorry to say, the site is on a lower level than planet catfish

Re: Best Sicklid site?
This is one of the best allrounders with some serious people logging on and very few muppets .
http://www.cichlidae.com/forum/
Also try www.eacichlid.co.uk but this is mainly CA and S American keepers but there is a good general knowledge base amongst the forum members so could be worth a try.
I have a few different sicklid forums on my favorites, depending on the type of sicklids you want IDing

Re: Best Sicklid site?
I agree with http://www.cichlidae.com/forum/ I do not really go to any other site for Cichlids, things can moves along slow compared to PC but there are knowledgeable people there.

Re: Best Sicklid site?
It's been a long while since I last visited the cichlidae.com site, but yes, if it's still the same as it was when I was active there, it's a good place. And I'm sure Shane is/was a member.

Re: Best Sicklid site?
Well, I think Shane is referring specifically to the "Lake Victoria" section of the forum. Other sections do have posts from today and yesterday in them - Lake Victoria is nowhere near as popular as the two big rift lakes, Tanganyika and Malawi, and the Central and South American sections are also quite popular.
Edit: And I just realized my account still works on that site...

That'll be why Greg Stevees is the moderator for the Lake Victoria section, then... ;) Small world, eh?

Re: Best Sicklid site?
I second cichlid-forum.com as great cichlid site......
Ummmm... I hope i won't get lambasted on this, but... why is the word cichlid censored? Is it some sort of inside joke...?
Its my first day... go easy!

Re: Best Sicklid site?
Yes, cichlid is a censored word on this site - you can disable the sensoring in Display Option s in the User Control Panel, and there is a FAQ (under Help!) that explains why Jools thinks it's fun to do this.
