Africa
has more species of Cichlids than any other continents. Generally,
they can be divided them into Cichlids from the Great Lakes of
Africa and the West & South Riverine Cichlids.Cichlids from
Great Lakes, i.e.. Lake Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria, are possibly
the most colorful freshwater fishes. They are sometimes refer to as
coral fishes as their colours are comparable to the marine fishes.
Cichlids
from Central America include those from Texas to Panama and
inclusive of Mexico. These are medium large to large fishes and
require spacious tanks. They are generally robust and easy to
keep. Due to their large size and aggressiveness, they are often kept
in a big tank and treated as pets. Many of them can also be
interactive, recognising their owners and behave in manners similar to
domestic pets.
Some of the
most common Cichlids have homes in South America. These
include the Angel fish, Discus, Oscars etc. Some of these
are huge but there are other that are in the dwarf category.
Review of SERA GranuGreen
Contains Spirulina, Spinach
as well as wheat meal, fish meat and
various vitamins formulated for Lake Malawi, Tanganyika cichlids and
herbivorous
cichlids. It is therefore ideal for herbivorous fish that
require vegetable matter.
Review of SERA Flowerhorn
Formulated as a staple food for Flowerhorns (a hybrid cichlid
that is popular in Asia). It is good for carnivorous fish that
require higher protein levels.
