Top 10 Best Cichlids for Beginners! (Beautiful and NOT Overly Aggressive)

I’m often asked, “I’m starting my first African Cichlid tank, what fish do you recommend?“ Well, here finally is a list of my top 10 best cichlids for beginners (but experienced fish keepers will also love these fish!). They are recommended for a beginner’s African Cichlid tank because they are both beautiful and not overly aggressive. Some of my favorites are on this list! There are around 20 more I could have added, but this is a good start.
Take a look and tell me what you think about my top 10 list and share with me in the comments below which fish would be on your top 10 best cichlids for beginners list. Remember the motto of this channel: ALWAYS BE LEARNING!
When making my choices I imagined a situation where it was the first African Cichlid tank and it was around 60 gallons. A very common starting point for cichlid keepers. I suggested fish that wouldn’t get too large too fast and quickly outgrow the tank in six months. I also made sure not to include fish that would discourage the new fish keeper by being too aggressive.
