My Top 10 Favorite African Cichlids of All Time

Looking back over the many years and the large number of African Cichlids that I've owned and shared with you, here are my top 10, my favorite fish, the ones I enjoyed the most. Why did I pick these 10 cichlids? You'll see in the video the reasons behind my picks and what made each of these fish one of my favorites.

Were there more? Yes! I could have added another 20 or 30 "favorites." But let's start with these 10 for now. 10 fish I'll never forget!

Did you have a favorite or several favorites of the fish that I've shared with you over the years? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.

Some of you have been kind enough to ask if there were some ways for you to support the channel. I certainly appreciate you asking. One way is to visit my Amazon store. When you use the link to my store to get to Amazon, anything you buy from my store (or anywhere on Amazon) provides the channel with a small percentage credit. It's Amazon's way of thanking me me getting you to their site. The great news is that it doesn't increase your cost one cent. Here is the link to my store: www.amazon.com/shop/benochart

Another great way to support the channel is to visit my Teespring store. It offers coffee mugs, tee shirts, hoodies and tank tops that display the channel logo and motto, "Always be Learning!" A link to the store is under every one of my videos or you can use this link:

Don't forget to use the code "LIVESTREAM" for a 10% discount at check-out.
