Naz_Nomad Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Does anyone else think, as I do, that this section of the forum needs splitting into "Cichlids - Lakes" and "Cichlids - Not Lakes"? Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Or maybe African&Asia and America or African and America&Asia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 It would take to long to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 some forums do this but there is heaps more members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Why would you want to separate cichlids from lake Nicaragua from other central american cichlids?? Seems how there's a lot of people keen on rift lake cichlids perhaps it could be split into rift lake and other cichlids, but there's not really that many posts to make it worth while IMO.

Scuba Sam Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 There's enough sections as it is to get through - we can all pick which ones we open depending on subject matter can't we? I'm all for the status quo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have seen of other forums African Cichlids South American Cichlids American Cichlids And it works well but like snookie said way more members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah I don't think there are enough members to justify it here.. I like to read most of the posts anyway and would just create more work for mod's etc look at the number of posts we actually get in the cichlid section and we don't get that many anyway..

David R Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 MFK has a Cichlids forum, for general cichlid discussion, along with six sub-forums; African Rift Lake Cichlids, African Riverine & Madagascar, Central and South American Cichlids, Peacock Bass, Crenicichla (Pike Cichlids), Angel Fish & Discus. They also have nearly 36000 members! :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxglove Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I like the mix of having all cichlids in one forum - but I do prefer people to use proper subject headings! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz_Nomad Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Maybe thats the problem for me, Foxglove. I love my SA cichlids but don't have much interest in Rift Lake Cichlids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 lol then don't read the african threads :roll: most of them have species names or african in the subject.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I agree with Naz and Foxglove, for some reason a lot of people here seem to use the word "cichlid(s)" when talking about African rift lake cichlids, as if there are no other cichlids. Eg; "I'm setting up a 4' cichlid tank, what should I put in it?". They are talking about a rift lake biotope, yet they have used the word cichlid ignoring the fact that it also covers riverine african cichlids, central and south american cichlids (from dwarfs to monsters) and the few species from asia. I think subject lines in general on this forum [not just Cichlids] need to be made more specific, I hate seeing topics like "Help needed" or "tank for sale" etc and often don't even bother with them.
