Before you choose from this collection
Every South and Central American cichlid on this page is a live fish held in our own system before dispatch — not a stock photo. We stock angelfish, discus, dwarf cichlids like Apistogramma and rams, acaras, and larger species, with new imports landing most weeks.
These cichlids ship in oxygen-charged bags inside an insulated box, dispatched Wednesday for Thursday delivery with a licensed live-animal courier so your fish never sits over a weekend. Every order carries our live arrival guarantee: film a short, continuous unboxing video and tell us the same day, and we refund or replace.
New World cichlids range from tiny, peaceful dwarf species that suit a planted community to large, characterful centrepieces. Most prefer soft, slightly acidic water — the opposite of African rift-lake cichlids. Read the species and cichlid care guides linked below before ordering to match the fish to your tank.

Frequently asked questions
Most prefer soft, slightly acidic to neutral water — pH around 6.0-7.5 — reflecting the Amazon and its tributaries. This is the key difference from African rift-lake cichlids, which want hard alkaline water. Dwarf species like Apistogramma especially appreciate soft water and gentle flow.
