In this video, I share the unexpected journey that led me to break my own rule about aquarium fish keeping! As a dedicated tropical fish keeper, I decided to come up with a set of rules for my fish tanks—but after seeing these new cichlid fish become available, I found myself doing one thing I promised I wouldn’t: and it made a liar out of me! In this video, I’ll explain why these stunning new cichlid fish made me completely abandon one of my great rules about keeping both American and African cichlids.
If you’re a fellow aquarium hobbyist or cichlid enthusiast, you know how challenging it can be to create the perfect cichlid fish tank.

Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.
