Hello readers and welcome to another edition of The Central Scene. For this issue the magazine will focus on the Thorichthys complex. A great little group of cichlids with much diversity that are great fish to keep for intermediates and novices. Thorichthys meeki (Firemouth) were the first cichlid that I ever spawned, so I have a great fondness for these guys. For our biotope feature, we are keeping with the Thorichthys theme and going for a easy contempo- rary aquascape using wood and a Lilly plant as the main feature. I would like to thank Rusty Wessel for kindly taking some time out to answer questions fired at him and supplying some wonderful photos to illustrate the article. Hopefully more interviews with experts will be pinned for future editions? The big and bad article covers two heavy weights in the Central American cichlid world. Both these fish are often debated regarding their suitability as a home aquarium species. I believe they can be if common sense and forward planning is applied. OK, that’s it for now, happy cichlid keeping, see you later for issue 6.
