Cichlids: Types, Care & Tank Planning
Cichlids are a family of roughly 1,800 accepted species, not one care type. Before buying, identify the exact species and source, then compare adult measurement, usable tank dimensions, social system, territory, tested water, diet and an exit plan. No family-wide minimum tank, water range or tank-mate list is safe.

Otopharynx sp. Roxy Malawi Cichlid
Otopharynx sp. "Roxy" is a colourful Lake Malawi haplochromine cichlid, often sold under the Roxy trade name. It is best planned for an African cichlid aquarium with hard, alkaline water, open swimming space and rockwork that breaks up sight lines.
Quick facts
- Scientific/trade name: Otopharynx sp. "Roxy"
- Adult size: around 15 cm
- Minimum aquarium: 250 litres+ for a planned Malawi group
- Temperature: 24-27C
- pH: 7.8-8.6
- Diet: Quality Malawi cichlid pellets with frozen foods as variety
Care and compatibility
This is a Malawi cichlid, so avoid soft acidic community setups. Keep with similar haps and peacocks where size, temperament and diet match. Males colour best when settled, but territorial behaviour can increase around dominance and breeding.
