African Cichlids

African Cichlids are the coolest of all aquarium fish!

I have been raising fish in aquariums for quite some time and have seen a lot of different types of fish. My favorite by far are the Cichlids and especially the African Cichlids.

    I haven't had the pleasure of owning a Cichlid, but it's definitely on my want list. I've been looking through a lot of pictures and info online and they're absolutely beautiful. And, from what I've read, most of them are really easy to care for. I can't wait to get some of these beautiful fish.
