Welcome to the New World Cichlids website.
This site was created specifically for those interested in Central and South American cichlids.

We will be updating the Species Index with pictures and the Articles section with information on keeping these fascinating species as time permits.

If you would like to discuss these interesting fishes, we invite you to join us at AquaMoJo's, where some of the most knowledgeable  fish keepers like to hang out and talk fish.
