My favorite cichlids from this continent are the dwarfs found in flowing streams and rivers along Western Africa. Most of these cichlid species are found within150-200 miles of the coast. The water in most of this region is relatively soft, usually 7-8 dGH and right around 7.0 ph. That makes them a pretty easy fish to acclimate to most home aquariums.
