Hello E.C.C.

[MrBigFish]

I was very happy when I opened the email from Tom G. extending an invite to join in the fun online with you fine folks. I reside on the Jersey Shore near Sandy Hook. My wife Nancy and I have just finished two months of traveling to some outstanding fish functions. In Oct. we went to the Lancaster Pa. swap meet, The Catfish convention in Laurel, Md., and the North Jersey A.S. Show and Auction in Lyndhurst, N.J. Then in Nov. we went to the AFISH convention in Islip, L.I. and the OCA Extravaganza and snowfest in Strongsville, Ohio. After a week off its nice to dive into a site that includes my favorite fish, New World Cichlids. Big and small we love them all. Anyway, I look forward to sharing our mutual all-consuming addiction to cichlids with all of you kindred spirits. Any one heard from Jersey Joe?

Welcome aboard! That sounds like the schedule Tom and I used to keep until my three knee surgerys in the last year!

Glad to have you here!

Hi Steve. Welcome to you and Nancy.
Folks ,Steve and Nancy run: www.Southcentralcichlids.com

Check them out for cichlid and pleco caves. As Steve mentioned ,he and his wife attend and sell items at all the major events in the area. Once we get an auction going we'll certainly invite them to sell.

Jersey Joe continues to lurk around the site but has not yet posted. We are perplexed. :)
