Buntbarsche Bulletin

Buntbarsche Bulletin — The journal of the American Cichlid Association

The Buntbarsche Bulletin is the Journal of the American Cichlid Association and is distributed in pdf format to ACA members as part of their membership. Printed copies are available from Back Issues. It is published in full color four times a year in March, June, September and December. The Buntbarsche Bulletin contains articles about cichlids that will appeal to both novice and experienced aquarists.

Members and non-members of the American Cichlid Association are encouraged to submit articles for the Buntbarsche Bulletin.

Authors/Artists/Photographers are now paid for submissions at attractive rates … contact the Editor for details.

Hard copy back issues of the Buntbarsche Bulletin are available for sale through the ACA Online Store.

Index of Buntbarsche Bulletin:

The Cichlid Room Companion keeps an index of past issues of Buntbarsche Bulletin organized in the following ways:

  • Index by issue (clicking on the desired cover),
  • Index by topic,
  • Index by author,
  • Index in reference style.

The index is not yet complete so we are looking for a volunteer who may have the missing issues and would like to include them in the database, in which case please contact us.
