Tropical Fishes

Cichlids belong to one of the largest and most important fish families in the world, with over two thousand species and sub species. Many of these fishes are found in some specific lakes in Africa: the Tanganyika, the Victoria and the Malawi lakes. They are often called African Cichlids and are without a doubt marvelous specimens for any aquarium since they have gorgeous and truly impressive combinations of colors as well as body shapes and sizes. African Cichlids are endemic species that are only found in this region.

African Cichlids fishes are most of the times small fishes and they normally have unique characters as well as lively and vibrant personalities. They are really easy to keep but you will need to decorate your fish tank with rocks and other elements since they tend to be hiding animals. The ones that come from the Malawi Lake are normally the largest ones and the ones that belong to the Tanganyika Lake are usually the smallest ones.
