African Cichlid Tanks or Saltwater Tanks? The Battle for SUPREMACY

African cichlids are GREAT, but how do they size up against SALTWATER FISH? I'll show you which is better as I compare them in 8 different categories. I love my African cichlid tank, but are those saltwater tanks even better? Let's find out together!

Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.
