THIS IS WHY WE LOVE CICHLIDS! THE MOST POPULAR AQUARIUM FISH SPECIES

Why are Cichlids so popular in the Aquarium Hobby? It’s because of their color, personalities, diversity and hardiness. At some point almost all aquarium enthusiasts have kept cichlids, and sometimes they don’t realize it. This video showcases a number of species that I’ve kept over the years. I personally love the bigger species of cichlids from central and south america, but am currently keeping a majority of african cichlids at this time. I’ve included links to individual species videos below for those who want a more in depth look at them. They are in the order as seen in this video.
