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
Guenther's Mouthbrooder is a West African cichlid with unusual male mouthbrooding behaviour and strong pair interest.
Give adults a spacious aquarium with stable water, sand, wood, stone cover and strong filtration. Do not add them to an immature setup, and keep water quality high with regular maintenance.
Best with robust West African or compatible community fish that will not crowd a breeding pair. Avoid tiny fish and aggressive cichlids that will force constant conflict.
Eligible livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee and are sent with a licensed live-animal courier when available.
