Daphnia Cultures
Amazing what you can do with carrots, a vitamin pill and water mix in a blender! We are now working on setting up additional cultures. We should have plenty of food shortly. Check out our YouTube Video along with photos below. Enjoy!

The American Cichlid Association Convention hosted by the Greater Cincinnati Aquarium Society
It is just around the corner, the ACA 2016 Convention in Cincinnati Ohio is upon us! AmazonTropics will of course be there with several offers including some rare Geophagus, a few catfish and even killifish (no they aren't always cichlid food). All the details for the event can be found here: ACA Convention 2016
We hope you join us as we enjoy a fun filled weekend of all things cichlids. For those in our hometown, Columbus, OH, do not miss this event! It is only a short two hour drive. Bring the kids and make a long weekend out of it. Cinci has a ton of great things to do and the GCAS has several tours arranged including: the Cincinnati Zoo and the Newport Aquarium. Hope to see you there!

Hypancistrus zebra 2.0
It would seem our zebras have finally settled in and have started breeding again. I expect the first batch to leave the cave shortly within the next few days. We will be holding these back for future breeders so that we might one day be able to produce these on a more regular basis. Once we have enough for future breeding stock, we will offer this wonderful species again to the public.
Also this week, our Centromochlus perugiae have spawned. We will be looking at improving our yields by incorporating a new in tank aquarium system. It should help keep things more stable and allow for a large volume of water for the fry. We anticipate this will increase our growth rates on our fish and allow more flexibility.
Last, we are moving our Emerald Green Oto fry to a 20 gallon growout. We are going to hold these back also for future breeding stock. There are around 20 offspring that now range in size from a little over 3/4"-1 1/4". Our goal is to try to offer as many offspring as CatCon approaches and beyond.
More updates to come!
