Mike Dunagan

I am a Social Studies high school teacher. I have been keeping fish for years, but as for cichlids about 4 years. I have always had pets including fish since I can remember.  After leaving college I decided to get back into keeping fish.  Short after I got my first 100+ gallon tank.  It has gone down hill from there.

Bobby Sutton

 I am a buyer for Raytheon Technical Services Company. I have been keeping cichlids for a little over a year now and I grow to love them more every day. I am currently building a new fish room to house my obsession. I want to welcome everyone to share in the knowledge and enjoyment that our group has to offer.

 Chris  Eichrodt

Jack of trades, master of none… that seems to sum me up. I’m a student at IUPUI studying Web Design. As far as work goes, I work for a large printing company on the North West side of Indy. I create brochures, posters, forms and other office related documents.

On the hobby side of things, I’m currently interested in Malawi Mbunas. I first started out in the aquatic world attempting to breed bettas. That didn’t work out so I dipped my hands into a planted tank. I have had moderate success at that. A co-worker of mine turned me onto African cichlids and so far I have not looked back.

Adam Anderson

Right now I'm a college student with about 20 tanks and growing. I mostly have peacocks and haps but am starting to get into Mbunas. I don't have any great show tanks but mostly tanks with one or two small breeding groups, so I am well know for having tons of fry for sale.
