I took my son to animal kingdom today mainly just to check out their awesome outdoor african cichlid pond. they had to have had cichlids numbering in the thousands! here are some pics to prove it! they even had some cichlids in a humongous pond with a hippo.
never before today have i ever seen so many africans together. they were actually schooling together at one point! so cool!

what i found odd is that they had a nile perch in the same pond as the hippo and the cichlids.

thanks! what i couldn't capture in the pic was that the little pools that separated the large cichlids and the more shallow waters had fry in there. it was pretty cool how it was kinda designed as a camouflaged breeder divider. they also have the pond heated

mike, you coming to orlando for real?

p.s. isnt the nile perch part of the reason the rift lake cichlids are having problems in the wild right now?
