Answer
Hi Louise;

I never learned much about african cichlids, unfortunately. They were hard to get in my area for a long time. To find people with more experience in them you might want to check out sites like;

Just remember to start slow with only a few fish for the break-in period of 6 to 8 weeks.

Good luck and have fun with your new tank!
