CichlidsSouth & Central American Cichlids
 |
The Amazon basin (particularly the Orinoco river) is home to a huge variety of endemic cichlid species, including the immensely popular Angelfish. These cichlids do well in a warm-water tank, and are generally considered to be very easy to feed, breed and care for. |
South American cichlids are among the most easily recognised species of freshwater fish, due to their bright colours, unusual shapes and ease of breeding.
They are usually at home in the company of other fish species, but may occasionally become aggressive.
For a closer look at these delightful cichlids, wander through our Malaga showrooms.
