There are 156 species of chidlids but 69 of the species are endangered :D
The fish species of Malawi Cichlids can be found in Lake Malawi on the African continent. It is a large lake that contains many different environments and spans over three countries: Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique.
Cichlids can be kept with shrimp, but it depends on the species of cichlid and the size of the shrimp. Many cichlids are territorial and may see smaller shrimp as food, particularly if they are not well-fed. If you want to house them together, consider larger shrimp species like Amano or Ghost shrimp and ensure the cichlids are less aggressive. Always monitor their interactions to prevent any conflict.
There are two distinct species both of which are called Zebra Cichlids. One species is from Malawi in Africa and a type of Pseudotropus that comes in many different colours, and the other is from Tropical South America and is a member of the Cichlasoma family. These two different species can not be interbred.
Oscars are cichlids! They are from the South American group of cichlids. Fish can mate only within the same species. Oscars can only mate with other Oscars.
Parrot Cichlids are carnivores. I believe they are produced in a Laboratory by some Chinese scientists who artificially fertilise one species of Amazon cichlids eggs with the sperm from a different species. They are not accepted as a species by most Scientists and do not have a proper Taxonomic name.
Silverdollars can sometimes live with cichlids, but compatibility largely depends on the specific species of cichlids and the tank setup. Generally, larger and more peaceful cichlid species may coexist well with silverdollars, while aggressive cichlids could pose a threat. It's essential to provide ample space and hiding spots to reduce stress and aggression. Always monitor their behavior closely when introducing new tankmates.
Depends.
no because the bigger cichlids will eat the little cichlids.
It is expected that Jewel Cichlids with Convict Cichlids.
Rather than give you "species' I'll give you "Groups of fish that contain certain types of species.". Good commonly available fish usually available at the local pet shops. Tetras, Anabantids, Dwarf Cichlids, Rasboras, Livebearers, Catfishes, Algae eaters, African Cichlids and South American Cichlids. All the above are tropical and some are very specific in their water parameter requirements.
Cichlids are species of aquatic fish that are found diversely, in regards to various sizes and shapes. Generally they are ovate in shape and laterally slightly compressed commonly medium sized. Scientist have been able to describe at least 1650 species of Cichlids and yet to discover more making it one of the largest families in animal kingdom. They are kept in home aquariums as well.
Cichlids are fish from the family Cichlidae in the order Perciformes. Cichlids have higly organized breeding activites. All species show some form of parental care for both eggs and larvae, often nurturing free swimming young until they are weeks or months old.
