Check it out, great read.

Great find of this free link.
This bulletin is an excellent resource and is mailed to members of the American Cichlid Association. I am surprised it's available for free, maybe a promotion of sorts, however, anyone interested in cichlids will find some very interesting articles.
A membership to ACA is $35 and the bulletins alone are worth that, never mind the ways in which ACA supports conservation, research, etc into cichlids worldwide.
As a member of ACA they now allow you free access (was membership before, $30 annual fee) to www.cichlidae.com.
This is THE cichlid site, with extensive information, pics, bibliography, etc on all cichlids, including constant updates on new fish discoveries, changes in species, etc.
Some excellent articles in the 2 bulletins that are linked above.
I have many years of Buntbarsche bulletins that are solid reference sources.
Another excellent resource is www.cichlidnews.com, for which a subscription is required. Also a terrific resource if cichlids are your thing.
A look at any of these high quality publications and their articles and you'd be hard pressed not to "get the bug" !!
Enjoy.
