  • The fourth installment in my Aquatics Masters Series featuring the legendary Dan Sharifi of Cichlids of the Americas (USA).
    A candid patio side interview with the legend himself discussing how he got started, the birth of COTA as well as some collecting stories. We also take you behind the scenes of Cichlids of the the Americas amazing warehouse to see a sampling of Dan's amazing breeding stock, something that is never usually done.

    Dan is the man! Also what I like is his stock is kept inside, free from outdoor pathogens and elements

    Dan came to the OCA and gave a talk a few years ago. Really awesome guy and super knowledgeable. I was fortunate to get green snooks and black belts from him. Incredible quality fish from a great guy!

      I need to give him a ring. There’s a very specific “water cow” I’m after.
