Top 10 Cichlids for Beginners

Our Top 10 cichlids for a beginner! We have kept a wide variety of cichlids, and in today’s video, we compiled a list of our current favorites for beginner aquarists. Most of the cichlids on this list are on the smaller end for cichlids so they don’t require massive tanks, and most are relatively peaceful. A primary reason for most of these cichlids being beginner-friendly is they are hardy and could withstand some mistakes a beginner could make. There are always exceptions when it comes to individual cichlids, but for the most part, the cichlids on this list will be the best for beginners. If you think we missed any cichlid on the list, let us know down in the comments section!
