Question On Cichlids

[Buddy33]

hey guys just got a question
with the Cichlid are they any different to normal tropical fish??

 

[Gouken]

yes they will end up killing the tropical fish, some can be very aggressive as well, like the ones that I have they fearlessly defend their territory and chase away others that go into their space.

 

[Buddy33]

but u treat them the same as normal tropicals

They do get different foods depending their type. Some are herbivores and some are carnivores. Stocking is also a bit different depending on what kind you get.
