Keeping Cichlids
Some of the pit bull owners are prefer to rear fishes along with their pet. If you're a person who is rearing fishes along with pits, this article would be very much useful otherwise don't worry...
Cichlids are found in many different parts of the world and have adapted to a wide range of habitats and lifestyles. Proving any guidelines that will be true for all possible cichlid species is therefore impossible.
A majority of the cichlids are tropical fish species, but some are found in subtropical parts of the world. If you want to keep cichlids it is a very good idea to find out cichlids fact regarding your particular species instead of trusting broad and general tips and guidelines.
A lot of cichlid species are suitable for beginners, as long as the novice fish keeper is prepared to do some reading regarding the care of fairly aggressive fish species.
The convict cichlid is for instance an exceptionally hardy and adaptable fish that readily breeds in the captivity, but it is also a pretty aggressive creature and adding it to a community aquarium filled with docile species is not a good idea. If you have no previous experience with aggressive species, it is best to keep this fish on its own. It can however be combined with other aggressive species.
The reason why this fish can be recommended for beginners even though its an aggressive species is the fact that the Convict cichlid is extremely hardy and adaptable and will survive common beginner mistakes in the aquarium.
It will also readily breed in captivity without any specific coaxing and exhibit an interesting fry caring behaviour. The recommended temperature is 20-26°C (68-79°F) and the pH-value should ideally be kept in the 7-8 range (neutral or slightly alkaline). The Convict cichlid hails from Central America.
