African cichlids

When it comes to fish, the most interesting and amazing fish that catches my eye is the African cichlids. These fish look absolutely amazing, through their different shades of colours and patterns. 
However, don't let their looks fool you...

African cichlids are considered one of the most territorial fresh water fish for anyone to have as a pet, they are quite aggressive and some actually grow a thin line of teeth which would be a little uncomfortable for pet owners who clean their fish tanks.
They also have major issues in regards to dwelling with other fish such as gold fish, angel fish and other fish in the fresh water community. 
So, if you are considering purchasing this amazing fish for your fish tank, be sure to place it with other African cichlids. One upside of owning a African Cichlids is that they are very adaptable to a tanks environment, and can adapt if the tank is clean or not.

The pictures below are some of the African cichlids I have had and have at the moment.
