I have put together some of my previous illustrations for today's theme on busy fish. We have the migratory salmonids, Jaw fish busy digging their nests, Malawi cichlids well known for mouth brooding and Agassiz's cichlid busy in parenting and baby care!!!

M is for Maingano cichlids!
This week's theme was "Fish starting with the first letter of your name". There are so many M cichlids, but the bright stripes on Maingano are definitely a standout. This is a male, identifiable by yellow egg spots on it's anal fin!

Yesterday's "something new" was Petrotilapia sp. It'll be up on my website, and in my store, within the next couple hours. Also had a bit of fun with the face 🙂. If I can figure out the species, I'll update.

A bright Electric yellow cichlid for today's fish sketch!
Electric yellows are one of the most popular cichlids in the Australian ornamental industry, growing to only 8cm and are relatively cheap to purchase. Keep them with other African cichlids for a lively community tank!

An old that fits this week's theme of "Fish that live inside other animals" - many species of cichlids are maternal mouthbrooders, meaning baby cichlids live in their mom's mouth until they are big enough to avoid predators!

There are some pretty amazingly-coloured cichlids out there. This fish, Pundamilia nyererei, from Lake Victoria, is often used as a model species for sexual selection, sensory drive, and speciation.

To all the moms who are balancing things right now, female African cichlids can relate - many cichlid species are maternal mouthbrooders, meaning moms carry their eggs and/or young in their mouths. During this time (sometimes up to a month!), she doesn't eat

Cichlids are an awesome alternative for those who love large brightly colored fish--but don't necessarily want a saltwater tank. 🤔 🐟

What is YOUR favorite thing about cichlid keeping?
