Why The Cichlidophile?

I am one of those many aquarists who have fallen deep into the hobby of fish keeping; more particularly in the area of cichlid keeping. I have only been keeping cichlids for a little over 2 years but that is enough time to dig myself deep into the hobby. I have joined fishkeeping organizations as well as conservation lists. I've also searched far and wide to find the cichlids that I currently keep. I've read hundreds maybe even thousands of articles on the net and in libraries looking for information about every cichlid that i've come across. Simply put, i am a cichlidophile, someone who likes cichlids.
