Hello cichlid nuts and welcome to issue # 4 of the Central Scene. The only magazine dedicated to North & Central American cichlids. Sadly I missed out on Herichthys labridens (Yellow) this year again as I wanted to dedicate a tank to these rare cichlids. Hopefully I’ll get to keep them someday? However, I still had the privilege of keeping a group of Herichthys bartoni some time ago, as I have always wanted to keep and successfully spawn these fish. You can read all about my experience in our first article. We have some great articles lined up this issue. First is UK Tom Williams, who talks about his experi- ences keeping and spawning the beautiful Vieja maculicauda and Astatheros nourissati. Francisco Gutierrez Franco reports from his latest collecting trip from Southwest Mexico, where he visited the Rio Corzo and Rio Bascam to name but two, in search of cichlids from the Theraps com- plex. Was he successful in observing them? Read more inside. This issues cichlid profile takes a look at Rocio octofasciata an all time favourite amongst keepers of Central American cichlids. Hope you enjoy the issue, please pop onto our Facebook page, like and post any suggestions that could help us improve the magazine. Until next time…saludos Lee Nuttall Advertising Rates Full Page £80.00 Half Page £40.00 Notes for Contributors If you would like to contribute an article or submit any photography work, then please send all work to the editor of The Central Scene at the following email address: [email protected] Text can be submitted in email draft or sent in Microsoft word doc.
