All About This INCREDIBLE Forgotten Cichlid

Meet Buck, my bold and brilliantly quirky True Parrot Cichlid, starring in this in-depth cichlid fish profile designed for tropical fish keepers and dedicated aquarium hobbyists. In this video, I break down Buck’s personality, care tips, tank mates, and how he stacks up against other American cichlid species—all while showcasing what makes the cichlid fish tank such an addictive corner of the hobby. If you’re exploring new aquarium setups, comparing cichlid behaviors, or just want to see a fish with more character than your average house pet, Buck’s got you covered. Dive in to learn how to keep your aquarium thriving, your cichlids happy, and your curiosity fully fed.

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.
