Most of the African Cichlids available in the hobby are rock dwellers. They live among them for protection and spawns under them. The will also eat algae, insects and crustaceans off the rocks. A good number of rocks forming caves will help create a natural environment for your fish. Clay flowerpots can also make good caves.African cichlids will constantly excavate gravel and rearrange it. So be careful in rock placement, the rocks should be set on the bottom of the aquarium with gravel around them to prevent the fish from digging gravel out from under rocks and causing them to topple.
