African Cichlids are freshwater/brackish fish that originate from the great lakes of Africa: Tanganyika, Victoria, and Malawi. Today, many of the African Cichlids used in the aquarium industry are sustainably bred at large fish farms due to their strong inclination to breed, even in captivity.

These fish are extremely hardy, colorful, and active, making them perfect livestock for a residential or commercial aquarium. While African cichlids are aggressive toward other species, and there are not many other livestock that will do well in a tank with them, this type of aquarium allows for all of the fish to have a similar size and shape, yet with diverse colors. Many customers appreciate this uniformity and enjoy the opportunity to watch their cichlids sometimes breed and care for their young.

African Cichlids offer some of the bright colors of saltwater fish at a much lower cost.  On top of saving money on livestock, we recommend servicing African Cichlid aquariums every 2-4 weeks instead of every 1-2 weeks for saltwater aquariums. Sign up for a service contract for your aquarium and we will handle everything, even feeding them! All you need to do is sit back and enjoy your beautiful new Aquarium.
