 Carlos' Fishroom 

"My name is Carlos Falcon. I live in Pflugerville, a small town on the outskirts of Austin and have been keeping fish for 2 years. My main interests are saltwater reef and any cichlid. Species that most interest me are Tropheus for Lake Tanganyika and Aulonocara sp. "Ruby Red" for Lake Malawi. My future goals are to get my Reef tank completely re-done and to start with a colony of either Tanganyikan or Malawian cichlids soon. Currently I am a member of the two best fish clubs in Texas (In My Honest Opinion); the Hill Country Cichlid Club and the Dallas/Forth Worth Marine Aquarium Society."
