About the Cover
Coming in a myriad of shapes, colors, sizes, and aggression levels, cichlids are among the most popular fish in the hobby. Some species, like the ever-popular oscars and angels, are commonly kept and bred, but others are threatened in the wild and require protection in the hobby. One such example is the yellow lab (Herichthys labridens “yellow”) gracing our cover, which is cross breeding with an invasive species and wiping itself out of existence.

Tip of the Month:
