I have started to spawn more and more cichlids and thought, it would be nice to share my approach and techniques for raising fry. This article will focus on the techniques and approaches that I have adapted to use to raise and grow out my fry. These techniques are simple and have been pretty successful, resulting in relatively good results. I like to keep things simple and easy and often look for the simplest and easiest way to be successful.
Credit has to given to the members of the GCCA club, as a lot of my experience comes from techniques shared to me by other club members. I take no credit for any of these ideas as being original or being applicable in all circumstances.

The website Seriously Fish reports that two new species of Victorian cichlids have been described. There is a huge amount of work yet to be done on the taxonomy of Victorian cichlids, so this is welcome news.
The two newly described fish are Haplochromis argens and Haplochromis goldschmitti.
