Shame on me, being the list admimistrator for the cichlid trader, I should 
have included the proper sig line , which has the URL you should go to built 
into it.  :-)

The Yahoo cichlid trader list is a little more complicated.  First you go to 
www.yahoo.com.  Be aware that somewhere in the first page or two they will 
ask you to establish a member name and password, which will let you into as 
many of the clubs as you want to join.  Near the top of the front page there 
is like three or four lines of links, including one for <clubs>.  Click that. 
 Then under <Family and Home> you will see one for <pets>.  Click that one.  
Then you get a list  of general pet categories, which even includes sea 
monkeys.  Honest!  No joke, sea monkeys.  There are like twelve or so clubs 
specializing in these little crustaceans that I would rather feed to my fish. 
 Go figure.

Well, anyway, click on <fish>.  There you will find a much shorter list of 
sub-categories.  Take the path labeled <species>, then chose <cichlid>, then 
scroll down to <cichlid central trading post>, where it will tell you you are 
not a member, but at least you can see all that is going on.  Join the club.

Once you get there, you can bookmark that page, and it will ask you to sign 
in as you go there.  You can elect to receive emails on all their postings, 
or browse them when you are in the <clubhouse>.  There are specialty groups 
on these lists for almost anything you can imagine.  If you are looking for 
information on a specific specices and there isn't one there for say, 
elephant noses, then start your own club and wait for someone to join.  You 
can join as many as you want and participate to your heart's content.
