My Fishies
I currently have 2 fish tanks: a 55 Gallon tank
housing my African Cichlids, a 29 gallon tank housing my Red Eared
Slider turtle and community fish.
African Cichlids are extremely interesting fish; They
are very colorful and very intelligent. They are considered by
some to the smartest fish on the planet. Their behaviors are
very interesting, breeding and defending their territory are two of
their most prevalent qualities.
I'll explain more about
their behavior later!
Enjoy the Pics!

Mbuna African Cichlids breed their babies in the
female's mouth! She does not eat for many weeks while the eggs
hatch.
Lake Malawi contains the largest number of fish
species of any lake in the world, probably over 600 from ten
families. Particularly noteworthy are the Cichlidae, of which all
but five of over 400 species are endemic to Lake Malawi. The lake
contains 30% of all known cichlid species.
