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
Red Devil Midas Cichlid is a large, intelligent Amphilophus cichlid for keepers who want a single bold centrepiece fish and can house it properly.
Plan around adult size and aggression: a very large aquarium, strong filtration, secure decor and open swimming space. Many keepers house this fish singly because it can dominate or injure tank mates.
Tank mates are a specialist decision. Only very large robust fish may work in oversized aquariums, and a single-specimen setup is often the most responsible option.
