Comment on Larry Lampert Passing by Mary Bailey

I only just (January 2012) heard about Larry’s death, when I received the latest BB yesterday. I am so sorry, I only met him a few times – at ACA conventions – but he struck me as a really nice guy and I know he was a stalwart of the ACA and the cichlid hobby.

Comment on TCA Members At ACA 2011 – Washington DC by Scott Carpenter

Scott Carpenter — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:29:14 +0000

Thank you for sharing Ralph. I wanted to be at the F.O.T.A.S. C.A.R.E.S. convention this weekend. Maybe next year. I’m relatively new to cichlids, but I really love them. They swim so fast, but then they can hover so quickly and just stare at you. I have a tank of Africans, main yellow labs and red zebras; but there are a few small others I haven’t identified yet. One is small and light brown with darker “giraffe spots” my younger daughter says. I will try to post pictures of the ones I don’t know.

Since I want the free coupons (and hopefully one will be the winning raffle ticket), I’ll go again.

Look at picture #4. The one captioned “Who are we image #1″. See the fella on the left? That is long time TCA member Phil Tucker.
