We like Cichlids so much that we would appreciate the opportunity to service and maintain your Cichlid community. Did You Know The family of Cichlids or Cichlidae are found in Africa, Central America and the tropical areas of South America.
In their wild state, most Cichlids live in slow moving to still waters where there are a lot of good hiding places to be found. Such as along banks, among tree roots, submerged branches, heaps of stones or in dense plant growth. Most species are territorial in nature, laying claim to an area which they will defend against intruders, especially during
mating season.
Most species are predatory in nature, feeding on smaller fishes and insects- and yes, even other Cichlids.
In the aquarium, Cichlids are not fussy about food. Every kind of live food will be devoured greedly and some dried food should be given for variety.
Many species will eat red meat. The vegetarian variety of Cichlids such as the Tilapia require fresh lettuce, boiled spinach, porridge and algae. Cichlids typically have a voracious appetite and will overeat if allowed. Overfeeding is a common problem.
Possibly the most popular of fresh water tropical fish kept by aquarists.
Cichlids are us. We keep an extensive range of these beautiful fish.
And if we don't have it in stock at the moment: we can order it in for you. |
