African Cichlids Aren't For Everyone



African Cichlids are known for NOT being beginner level fish. That's both true and not true, IMO. Have you tried to start a tank before only to have them at each others throats, and you couldn't figure out why? Or maybe you've been intimidated by that label, "Not for Beginners" so you haven't even tried yet.

I know the feeling. When I first decided to keep these beautiful fish years ago I dove in and learned on the fly, also known as "the hard way". But learning from my mistakes is what got me to understand and appreciate African Cichlids.

The Truth About African Cichlids


Yes, African Cichlids are aggressive fish which can turn most people away from them right off the bat. They also require different water parameters than most fish which can be tricky to get a good handle on, at first. And with so many species of African Cichlids it can be difficult to understand which one can be mixed with the other. 

When I started with African Cichlids there wasn't much information out there, and the little that I found was very conflicting. After learning the hard way and losing many fish in the process I was able to eventually understand exactly what these fish need, not only to just survive, but to THRIVE.

In this course you will learn everything there is to keeping a successful African Cichlid Tank. You will feel confident in curbing their aggression, maintaining proper water parameters, offering them the best health and nutrition, while also keeping your tank clean and clear! Happy Fish, Happy Fish Keeper!

Is The Cost Worth It? You Bet!


This hobby we love is expensive, and so are these fish! A juvenile African Cichlid can run you anywhere form $10-$20 bucks, while adults can cost $40-$65 or more depending on their rarity. 

Lets take an average of $35/fish with an average of about 15 fish in your tank. That's $525 in your stock alone, not including shipping charges if you're ordering online.

Add in the cost of your tank, all your equipment, food, water conditioning products and keeping these fish can easily rack up to over thousands of dollars! 

Jumping into this hobby or choosing to keep African Cichlids without knowing what you need to know can easily send all that money down the toilet...if you know what I mean!

No one wants to come home to a tank full of dead fish, which is the fastest way of deciding to leave the hobby all together. After all that hard work and money spent!

Don't let this be you!

Which is why with this course I offer a 30 day money back guarantee so the cost isn't even a factor!
