More than 1600 species of cichlid have been described so far, but scientists believe that the true number of species is much bigger (2000 to 3000 species). Cichlids can be found in the Great Lakes of Africa and in the rivers and lakes of South America. They are often kept in the aquariums because of their colorful bodies and peaceful and hardy nature.

Loiselle Tetrapress 1988: The Cichlid Fishes of the Great Lakes of Africa: Their Biology and Evolution There is no evidence that neo-Darwinian founder effects have played any role in the process of rapid speciation of cichlid fish in the great lakes of East Africa (Kornfield and Smith, 2000). There are no postmating reproductive barriers between these species as would be predicted the neo-Darwinian view of speciation. The young age and high diversity of cichlid fish in the three African rift lakes at great depths, they are not of great importance at high water levels. But.
