In real life, african lake cichlids are diverse specialists, beloved by both new and veteran aquarists for their feisty personalities and bright colors. There are hundreds of species across just a few lakes in East Africa.

Spawning and taming

African lake cichlids are uncommon spawn in ponds, lakes and other water features in wet savanna biomes. They always spawn in schools of 5-6 fish.

As ambient, neutral animals, they can be picked up without issue. They can also be picked up in a bucket.

African lake cichlids cannot be tamed, but are still perfect for your exhibits anyways! As medium speed animals, it may take you a couple tries.

As ambient animals, they do not need specialized care.
