   Some of the most beautiful and graceful fish are the Angelfishes and Discus, while some of the most unique in appearance are the Hybrids!

   The Central American and South American Cichlids are generally quite durable fish, and this applies to most of these attractive fish as well. We have grouped these American cichlid types together here because of some common characteristics that they share. They have some of the most unique body shapes found in the Cichlidae family of fishes, and each of these has smaller number of species or types. They also have some of the most beautiful and varied color patterns and reach an impressive size. Though they are cichlids, they tend to be more amiable than others cichlids and each variety will make a great show specimen.
