Amalgamating 'African Cichlids' with 'Freshwater Discussions'

[Adam]

Just a thought to clean the site up a bit. 

There are posts from mid-October on the first page, which means it really doesn't get much posting or traffic.  Plus, a lot of issues with Africans have to do with freshwater as a whole.

Yeah, I remember there being a lot more posting about African Cichlids when it was part of the larger forum... I learned a lot from these postings about water/disease/etc.  Now, there is, as you mention, next to nothing.

My two cents - I'm glad they were separated.  I hated reading about all the aggression and "she killed another one" or killed a pleco or ate an eye ball or terrorizing or killed off the whole tank.  I found it quite depressing and wished some of the cichlid posts had a cichlid flag or a warning on them.  I hated being surprised by these types of threads.  I can avoid them now for the most part.  still some surprising posts in FW every once in a while but not like when they were together.  Maybe things have mellowed out - I wouldn't know because I don't read that section.
