About the Author

My name is Sam Borstein. I'm 19 years old and currently and am a biology student at California State University-Sacramento.  I'm a member of the Greater Chicago Cichlid Association, Pacific Coast Cichlid Association, Sacramento Aquarium Society, and American Cichlid Association. To date, I've bred over 100 species of cichlids and other fish. To learn about the cichlids and fish I have experience with and information on how to keep and breed them, look at the species profiles section.
