AFRICAN CICHLIDS

• Come mainly for 3 lakes in Africa, Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyike, and Lake Victoria. Species from different lakes generally do not do well together. NOT community fish – very aggressive.
• Because they are more aggressive an aquarium should only have 1 inch of fish per 2-3 gallons.
• Most species will grow from 4-8 inches, some species up to 20 inches. Minimum tank size is 30 gallons for 3-6 cichlids.
• There are many different colors and they are very bright especially as adults.
• There are hundreds of species, some will get along and some will be very aggressive with each other. Doing research for a particular species is the best way to determine what it can and can’t be mixed with.
• Should be in groups of 3 or 4 with 1 male and 2-3 females. *Groups must be the same species*
• Lots of rockwork and places to hide, re-arrange when adding new fish or is fish are becoming too aggressive (territorial).
• Heater required, temperature range of 74 - 80 degrees F
• A fine substrate or sand is recommended, they like to dig.
• pH levels: Lake Malawi 7.4 - 8.6, Lake Tanganyika 7.8 - 9.0
• Plecostamus are the best choice for algae eater, but because of African Cichlids aggressive nature they still may be attacked and killed. Getting a good size pleco will help.
• Will eat predator sticks and live food, as well as frozen food.

• They are a schooling fish and it's best to keep them in groups of 6 or more of a single species.
• They are very peaceful fish and will get along with most other peaceful community fish.
• Larger varieties are good starter fish since they are quite hardy. Avoid smaller varieties such as neons and cardinals to start since they are more sensitive to water conditions.
• Providing lots of live plants and places where they can hide will simulate their natural environment and reduce their stress levels.
• The rule for the amount of tetras in a tank is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water.
