African Cichlid

African Cichlids are generally peaceful with fish of the same size and temperament, but may eat any fish small enough to fit into their mouths. They may also be territorial and aggressive to others of their species. Cichlids are middle swimmers, so be sure to add some top and bottom swimmers as well.
