The African Cichlid
Are You Ready to Set Up Your Own
African Cichlid Aquarium?
It's an obvious thing to say, but I'll say it anyway:
When you set up an aquarium you are creating a self contained little world where nothing gets in or out without your assistance.
So it pays to get it right. The health and well being of your fish, and your own enjoyment, depend on it.
Cichlids are popular aquarium fish due to the variety of colors they come in, their high level of activity and their relative ease of breeding.
Setting Up Your African Cichlid Aquarium
There is more to setting up an aquarium than just buying a tank and filling it with rocks and twisted bits of wood.
It may look nice, but do you know that some types of rocks and wood and artificially raise the pH of your tank?
If the pH of your tank goes to high, or too low, it can kill your fish.
Creating a rocky wonderland of crags and cliffs may look amazing and give your cichlids plenty of places to hide, but bear in mind that having too many rocks in your tank can make it really difficult to clean your tank properly.
If you put in too many rocks and pieces of wood then you'll just have to take most of it out again to clean your tank.
- So how much is too much?
- And what type of rocks and wood are safe to use in your new tank?
- And what size tank do you need?
- And what should you feed my African Cichlid fish?
- And what about breeding African Cichlids?

"Cichlids have a wide variety of behavioral mechanisms. However, they did not get the aggressive stereotype attached to them for no reason.
Many cichlids are indeed very aggressive and it is, therefore, very important that you do your research before starting a cichlid tank."
