Hello and welcome to issue 6 of the Central Scene, the only maga- zine dedicated to North & Central American cichlids. This could potentially be the last magazine of the series, but since publishing the magazine into a proper paper copy, I am deciding to have second thoughts. Maybe there is the potential for the magazine to become a regularly published hobbyist journal? Certainly to go forward, I would need contributions from regular authors , both from professional and armature level. However, this is something I would need to think and plan accordingly. If you have any suggestions how we could take the magazine forward, please post your thoughts onto the Facebook page. Right, onto cichlids... We have a few interesting cichlid articles for this issue. Francisco Gutiérrez Franco reports from Nuevo León México documenting possible variations of H. cyanoguttatus. Next Sam Borstien gives a detailed description of Amatitlania siquia including care and spawning of the beautiful convict cichlid from the Ni- coya Peninsula. This issues biotope aquarium includes an easy 4 step guide to setting up an contemporary rock-scape for Cryptoheros sp. ‘honduras red point’. You will see that both cichlids included within the issue have or are going through taxonomy revisions. Name assigning is generally based upon opinion for many; some re- gard Amatitlania invalid and a junior synonym of Cryptoheros? You will see throughout the articles includ- ed; both names are used respectively.
