Founded in August of 1980, the Pacific Coast Cichlid Association exists to meet the needs
of the west coast cichlid hobbyist. By-Laws were constructed in 1983-1984 and the PCCA
was incorporated as a non-profit corporation under the laws of the state of California on
January 30, 1985. Since inception, the PCCA has grown rapidly from a local society of 20
members to one of national scope, with members all over the world.

News and Updates

  • July 2009 Speaker: The Pacific Coast Cichlid Association is proud to announce
    Mr. Dick Au, San Francisco, CA, as our speaker on July 11, 2009

    Mr. Dick Au has been involved with discus for over forty years. His first experience with
    discus dated back to the early 1950's when he observed the first commercial spawning of
    brown discus while working in a fish farm in Asia.

    A well-known breeder of aquarium fishes, he consistently produces quantities of quality
    discus year after year.

    He has received numerous awards for contributions to the aquarium hobby as well as lifetime
    memberships to several societies. Insisting on keeping discus as a hobby and not as a
    business, the author spends much time giving lectures at aquarium societies, judging fish
    shows, and writing about discus.

    "Trophy Discus - How to Select & Groom�, is a program which will also include a dozen
    photos and comments on the 2009 Singapore Aquarama. Please join us on July 11, 2009,
    at 4400 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose, CA 95129.

    Effective with your next renewal, the Cichlid Blues publication will only be available in PDF
    format, which will be emailed to you. This is due to the rising costs of the publications and
    most other fish club are moving to this format. The PCCA could raise dues but we feel that it
    is better to try and cut costs. The cost of your dues (printed) does not cover the costs of the
    publications. Please make sure that the PCCA has your emails address to receive the
    Cichlid Blues. If your do not have email, copies of the Cichlid Blues will be available at the
    General Membership meetings. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. For
