Cichlid info?

[Lady G]

Can anyone tell me a good Cichlid site to go to for the best info about them? I am thinking about starting a Cichlid tank and need to know all the specs, tank sized, compatible mates, feeding specs, ect...

Thanks in advance

What species of cichlids are you interested in? Or at least from what area? There are many many sites out there that are of specific groups of cichlids.

http://www.cichlid-forum.com is a good general-cichlid site. I wouldnt nessecarily hold all their info in thier profiles to be accurate, although its generally really really good. I would decide exactly what species you want, and google search from there to find several sources of credible info on your fish of choice.... since info often seems to vary from site to site.

I am trying to look at ones that would do fine in a 30/gallon, hoping to keep more than one type in there. I know 30 limits me quite a bit as to how many and what kind but that is all I'll have to work with for now.
I am in the process of upgrading my 30-a 55 for the fish I have right now, so I do have time to research and research.
I went to the species profile here and OMG I had no IDEA there were sooooo many different ones!!! I am falling in love with so many this is going to be WAY harder than I tought to pick.
I am looking at the lake tanganyika breeds (they seem to be the smallest I think). Looking at tank size well, that narrowed me down to OH about....15 different ones I am going to have to choose between. So I am going to try and narrow it more by aggressivness, but the ones I've seemed to like most of coarse say "beware".
I'm just not sure how I'm going to decide, but like I said I do have a while, so I am going to look at the ones I like best then take it from there. So.....Plan on seeing me alot here for a while with many questions!!
Going to start with the site you already provided.

Thank you!!
