Taking care of cichlids can be seen that compared to other fish cichlids tend to be quite aggressive. One question Frequently Asked Cichlid is their aggression. Why are they so aggressive? Can I stop their aggression? The answers to these questions can be found by understanding their natural behavior.

Cichlids do not live in an aquarium where everything is supported. Cichlids living in the wild rivers and lakes, where many predators and other fish. They must be struggling to survive. They must be aggressive in obtaining territory, for a mate and defend its thermal plants.

Thus, when seen in the wild and raised in an aquarium they act the same way. The struggle for food, fighting over territory and the fight against getting a partner.

This attack is particularly more obvious when they defend their thermal systems. Cichlid Frys is attacked and eaten by other fish as are so small and vulnerable. So, cichlids need to be aggressive to scare away predators.

Once you understand their natural behavior and instincts, is easier for you to control their aggression. It is necessary to give them a territory, a place for them to breed and feed. If you can, you see that the cichlids are relatively easy to maintain and care.

Cichlids, like most animals, the use of surrounding objects to define their territory. If you have a bare tank, cichlids in the tank is very likely to claim the entire tank as the own and fight with all the other fish. Therefore, more items you have in the tank, the easier it is for the cichlids and mark to define their territory.
