African Cichlid Care Made Simple
A System-Based Guide to Building African Cichlid Tanks That Last

African cichlids are some of the most colorful, aggressive, and misunderstood fish in the aquarium hobby.

Most tanks don’t fail because hobbyists don’t care -
they fail because they’re following fragmented, conflicting advice.

This book was written to fix that.

Instead of random tips, shortcuts, or myths, this guide teaches African cichlid care as a complete system, showing you how tank size, filtration, stocking, aggression, and layout all work together.

If you’ve ever:

• Lost fish and didn’t fully understand why

• Struggled with aggression that never settles

• Felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice

• Restarted a tank more than once

This book will change how you approach African cichlids.

WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT

This is not a fish encyclopedia.
This is not a list of species profiles.

This book focuses on how to think, not just what to buy.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• How African cichlid tanks actually function as systems

• Why aggression is usually a design problem - not a fish problem

• How to plan filtration based on bioload, not hype

• Stocking strategies that work long-term

• The most common mistakes that quietly ruin tanks

Everything is explained in plain language, without fluff or theory overload.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

This book is perfect for:
✔ Beginners who want to start the right way
✔ Hobbyists restarting after a failed tank
✔ Anyone tired of guessing and second-guessing
✔ Keepers who want stability, not chaos

This book is not for:
✖ People looking for quick hacks
✖ Trial-and-error learners
✖ Those who want random fish lists without context

African cichlids' reward structure. This book gives you that structure.

WHY THIS BOOK EXISTS

Most aquarium advice is:

• Outdated

• Oversimplified

• Or taken out of context

This guide was created to give hobbyists clarity instead of confusion.

It’s the foundation I wish most people had before they ever filled their first tank.
