This awe inspiring collection of some of the absolute best New World Cichlids is owed by Dan and Martha Sharifi, both legendary and passionate aquarists.
They have travelled extensively all over Central America collecting the best Cichlids that the world has to offer and brought them back to breed for the trade.
Today we discuss what they've been up to since my last visit four years ago.
Lots has changed, Lots of incredible new fish!
So join me today as we go into the world of one of the best New World Cichlid collections in the world.
Enjoy!

Great upload mate 🔥🐠. My mind is opening up to the universe of American cichlids and in particular central/vieja species 🎉. I’m from Australia and you guys from the states are seriously lucky and privileged to have access to a lot of these species.

Thank you very much. Amazing fish albeit very very slow growing. Good clean water with lots of water changes. They are an obligate sand sifting omnivore spa varied low fat diet will be ideal. Let them Sift through the sand . They are a smaller species reaching a maximum of about 9”

Not an easy question to answer as not on food would meet the needs of the vast diversity of Central American species. Variety would be key, low fat foods.
