Over the years we have received much appreciated support from the fish hobbyist community. Various people continuously and selflessly commit fish and other samples to our research projects, provide crucial information about field sites, help with fish husbandry know-how, and supply photographs for publications. At this point, we would like to express our sincerest thanks to everybody that has been supporting us in the past.

	Juan Miguel Artigas Azas Juan lives in San Luis Potosi (Mexico) and knows the fishes of Mexico like nobody else. His underwater photographs are amazing, his collection tips invaluable. Juan is also the mastermind behind the Cichlid Room Companion.
	Ken Davis Ken lives in Statham (Georgia), maintains his own fish hatchery, and currently works in a petshop in Atlanta. We share are keen interest in fishes from Honduras, although Ken is focusing increasingly on cichlids from Uruguay.
	Joel Healy Joel lives in Kansas CIty (Missouri) and has a keen interest in goodeid fishes. He has been indispensable in establishing populations of Characodon in our lab.
	Jim Langhammer Jim lives in Royal Oak (Michigan) and has a long standing history of collaborating with scientists, as he worked with Bob Miller on goodeids of Mexico. Jim has lent his invaluable expertise and contributed fish stocks to our ongoing projects on Characodon.
	Joe Middleton Joe lives in Portland (Oregon), is well travelled in Central America, and keeps contributing to our cichlid projects.
	Rich Serva Rich lives in Stowe (Ohio) and is a longtime member of the American Livebearer Association. He volunteers at CICHAZ and has been active in forming bridges between hobbyists and scientists particularly through helping graduate students.
	Stephan Tanner Ste lives in Columbus (Ohio) and is among the most avid hobbyists I've met. He is the man that can breed anything, and he mainly focused on keeping cyprinids and loricariid catfish. Ste has been an invaluable resource for optimizing fish care in our lab, particularly in terms of filtration and fish nutrition. He distributes a fantastic filter system, quality fish food, and home-bred fish on his Swiss Tropicals website.
	Rusty Wessel Rusty lives in Louisville (Kentucky), keeps his fish in a first class fish house, and travels regularly through Central America to collect fish. We share are an interest in Central American cichlids.
