The Cichlid Room Companion

ACA – CRC partnership

The Cichlid Room Companion

The American Cichlid Association, in order to provide its membership with the best and most up-to-date information about cichlids, has worked an agreement with the premier cichlid site on the web, The Cichlid Room Companion, giving ACA members access to this subscription-based site.

Joining the ACA brings immediate access to the CRC, with all the utilities it offers:

Complete cichlid catalog

The Cichlid Room Companion offers a complete cichlid catalog with extensive information on each species: Taxonomic, distribution and ecology, natural history, aquarism, conservation, and more. Multiple pictures are shown for each species, the great majority taken in their natural habitat and showing the geographical variation of the species. There is also a map for each species showing where it can be found, a list of cichlid species sharing the habitat, a list of localities with pictures, an extensive bibliography for each species, a list of relevant collection records, and much, much more.
