Alright Cichid Gurus....

[oprahricky]

I Am preparing to do an informative speech on South American Cichlids for a Public speaking course I'm taking at school.. Maybe you guys can help me I need good key points and facts!

 

[love The Jack Dempseys]

Key points could be aggression differences and color differences when from different locations. ie: parachromis managuense have a blue hue in their fins when they are from hondorus and when from nicuragua they dont have that, atleast not as strong.

That is such a long topic. There is just no way I could cover all that. Maybe narrow it down slightly

Isn't the whole point of doing an informative speech to have your own information to talk about?

 

[oprahricky]

No not at all. Maybe I am just on the wrong website!

That was an example, just do your research. I was only spit balling

I would cover only the festae is know to hybridize...

I tend to think south american species seem to be less aggressive than central american. and tend to get a long better in a community setting. This is by no means a proven fact, just my opinion. Seems like a very large topic to undertake, may be better to narrow it down to climate and water temp, and what they eat. Good luck

Read "the cichlid fishes: natures grand experiment in evolution" by George Barlow. You can get it used on amazon and you will definitely know some things afterwards.
