Hi Roan Art, welcome to WikiProject Aquarium Fishes. I'm glad we finally got a rainbowfish expert like you. Rainbowfish is pretty much underdeveloped compared to most other groups. So, feel free to create new species articles or expand the few existing ones and let us know if you need help. Also, you might want to help with the rainbowfish section in this List of freshwater aquarium fish species. And here's our latest newsletter. Cheers.

Related to this discussion is the title change of the article Mayan cichlid to Cichlasoma urophthalmus.

Activity in Wikiproject Aquarium fish has slowed to a crawl, it seems. We still have a few dedicated editors plus a few new faces (myself included). Any participation is appreciated, however we really can't tackle big projects with this level of activity. Give us a shout if you want to become active again!
