What is one thing you love about cichlids?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Maybe theyre resilience, maybe that is not for ever single cichlid, but for the majority that has been my experience. I have seen an oscar torn to shreds by another cichlid to the brink of death. With in 4 days (seriously) you couldn't even tell his was in a fish. Unbelievable to me how they bounce back.
 
They do not poop on the floor like the dogs doo doo, er do.
 
It has to be the personality including parental care. They can be some tough SOBs.
 
I love the colors! They are some of the prettiest fish out there! I am continually blown away by all the varieties (shape, size, and color). Such a cool fish to keep.
