Lake Malawi Slideshow

Happy Spring!

Spring has sprung and these little guys are everywhere! The fish will be starting to breed soon and we're hoping for a big year.

Our forum is more active now than it has been for years, with much thanks going out to Malawi Mother for staying at the helm for us. If it's been a while since you stopped by, please check it out... there's even a new section for your photos, and you get to brag all you want :)

We're on Squidoo!

Check out our Squidoo Lenses... it's pretty neat.
