Cichlids, also known as the vibrant and diverse family of freshwater fish, originate primarily from the African Great Lakes, such as Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika. These lakes are home to famous groups like the Mbuna and Peacock cichlids. Physically, cichlids vary significantly, ranging from small, colourful fish to larger species with striking patterns. They possess unique pharyngeal jaws that allow them to consume a wide variety of foods, which contributes to their adaptability. Temperamentally, many cichlids are known for their intelligence and complex behaviours, including notable parental care and territorial aggression. This makes them fascinating yet sometimes challenging aquarium inhabitants. The suitability of cichlids for aquarists depends on tank size and careful management of tank mates, especially due to their sometimes aggressive nature. Popular in the UK aquarium market, searches for terms like “malawi cichlids for sale,” “african cichlids for sale near me,” and “mbuna cichlids for sale” reflect interest in these remarkable fish. Proper care involves maintaining suitable water parameters and providing ample hiding spots to mimic their natural rocky habitats.

FAQs
How aggressive are cichlids?
Cichlids are generally quite aggressive, primarily exhibiting territorial aggression especially during breeding or when defending resources. Their aggression is mostly directed towards members of the same species or perceived competitors rather than random tankmates. While some large piscivore cichlids can be mild-tempered due to not needing to defend fixed territories, smaller or breeding cichlids tend to be more territorial. Aggression can manifest through ramming, fin damage, and scale loss, which may lead to infections if not managed.
