Who and What is Vegas Valley Cichlids?
Hello everyone, welcome to Vegas Valley Cichlids! My name is Fred Aspengren, and I am the founder of Vegas Valley Cichlids, a place where hobbyist and enthusiast can find high quality home bred African Cichlids for a very low price!
I have been in the hobby for 4 years now and have enjoyed breeding and raising quality African cichlids. Originally, I owned only a 100 gallon acrylic tank that I found from Craigslist for $40 and stocked it up with variety of male Peacocks and Haps. Realizing how beautiful my all male show tank, I got hit with MTS(Multiple Tank Syndrome). Long story short, 4 years later I now have 20 tanks and currently in process of building a 12x16 shed to accommodate up to 2000g of water with 50+ tanks. Due to the limited amount of tanks and space I have, I need to rehome all my fry for a small amount of fee just enough to provide for my cichlid addiction. My purpose of starting a business is not to make huge chunks of money but to provide enough for me to continue what I love to do with my family and that is growing and breeding cichlids. Selling my high quality cichlids to the online is just a bonus. =)
So, if you love cichlids just as much as I do or if you are just starting an interest and want excellent quality fish, please visit our facebook page and see for yourself just how loved these fish are. I feed my fish high quality fish food only (Paradigm) and clean my tanks weekly to produce happy and healthy fishes. I also provided an information page for those who are interested in cichlids but want basic information. Go to African Cichlids 101. I know how hard it is to find something you are interested in and are not sure on how to start so I also provided this section in my page for those who want some knowledge on how to raise cichlids.
