Hi there,

I just wish to greet you all. My name is Alexander, I am a cichlid keeper from city of Novi Sad - Serbia- Europe.
Ive been tracking this forum for a while, many interesting topic I have seen but until now I didn't participate in any subject.

I am Malawi and Tanganyika cichlids keeper. Until several months ago I had close to 3.000 liters in several tanks.

As I had a plan to move from Serbia, I sold and give away almost all of my tanks and cichlids. From lake Tanganyika I use to have 12 different shell dwelling species and 16 other species. From lake Malawi I use to have approx 30 different species. I ahd a succees with breeding all shell dwelling species, almost all other Tanganyika species and almost all Malawi species.

I must say that I learned a lot about cichlids from articles from the net and from several friends of mine from Holland and from Serbia.

I was lucky to stumble upon some great cichlid keepers that were willing to share their experience with me.

For me, being ion some hobby is all about sharing experience in it with other hobbyist.

I have knowledge that I am willing to share with others and I am always willing to learn more. When I say that I have a knowledge I just want to say that my knowledge is based upon my experience and experience of my closest friends.

Glad to be here, glad to see that this forum is a good one and hope to participate as much as I can, hope to learn new things and hope that I can be of assistance to someone in need.

with respect

Alex

Welcome Alex

Love the photo of all the fry in your signature.

Glad to have you here Alex.

I agree that sharing with other hobbiests is what it is all about. Are there any aquarist clubs in Serbia? I find that my local club is an invaluable source in many respects.

Looking forward to seeing you around the forum!!

Thank you all, glad to be here!

The fry in my signature is, I must say artistic photography from one Danish cichlid keeper. I just love it!

At the moment there are several forums on Serbian and Croatian languages and only two societies/clubs, one is my own Xtremeaquaristika club where I gather cichlid keepers from my city and region, soon I intend to gather cichlid keepers from other parts of Serbia into this club, and there is one more club but not a cichlid club.

We have several great cichlid keepers, people that have great knowledge and spreat it around.

welcome to the forum! I like hearing fish keeping methods from across the pond sometimes they are different than here, so its nice to learn different ways to do things!
