Cichlids are one of the most diverse fish families in the hobby. From tiny apistogrammas to massive oscars, this guide covers the basics of keeping them well.
Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Brown's Mouthbrooder is a specialist Lake Victoria Haplochromis with female mouthbrooding behaviour and a more demanding care profile than everyday community fish. The adult-size planning now reflects the species rather than the small sale size.
Use a mature hard-water aquarium with rock structure, sand or fine substrate, clean oxygenated water and room for territorial behaviour. Keep water chemistry stable and avoid soft acidic setups.
Best for a species-focused or carefully planned Lake Victoria cichlid aquarium. Avoid small community fish, very aggressive cichlids and soft-water species.
