First off, cichlids is pronounced “Sick-Lids”. African Cichlids are fish found in Three lakes in Africa; Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria. The Victorian Species are less numerous and usually less colorful than the others.
These fish usually grow to about six or seven inches long, with the
exception of the Frontosoa Species, which grow to about twelve to
fourteen inches in length.
Fortunately, these fish are freshwater, and easy to raise in a home
aquarium, the only requirement being that they have water with a higher
pH level and plenty of hiding spots (they can be quite aggressive!).
There are also species of Cichlids that live in the Amazon Basin, but
these get much larger and are much more aggressive than their African
relatives.
