Review: Solid seller - Ordered a 10 pack and they sent 14, 3 didn’t make the trip but I still have 11 and with a good variety and seem to be in good health. Some super tiny and some a decent couple inches. Coloring is great on most of them. Will definitely use this seller in the future Review: Would buy again from seller - I received all my fish over night. They where all alive and well. Very pretty my favorites are the smallest 2 they are pearl white, just beautiful. Great mixture of fish and two extra. Some where bigger some smaller but I got a lot of great fish for the price with shipping. I would definitely buy from them again. I can't wait to watch them grow, they where real shy the first day but now they come up to me when I stand at the glass. I love them. 😆 ## Features - Live fish for aquarium or fish tank ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0811MJ6DS | | Additional Features | Live fish delivery, Live arrival guarantee, Extra fish included | | Age Range (Description) | young | | Age Range Description | young | | Allergen Information | Fish may contain | | Animal Food Diet Type | Plant-Based | | Best Sellers Rank | #176,760 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #5,213 in Aquarium Décor | | Brand | Generic | | Brand Name | Generic | | Breed Recommendation | fish | | Container Type | water | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 361 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Fish | | Item Form | fish | | Item Weight | 6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | That Fish Shop | | Number of Items | 10 | | Occasion | all occasions | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Benefits | Guaranteed live arrival for aquarium use | | Recommended Uses For Product | Aquarium or Fish Tank Decoration | | Special Ingredients | fish | | Specific Uses For Product | aquarium or fish tank | | Target Species | Fish | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** young - **Brand:** Generic - **Flavor:** Fish - **Item Form:** fish - **Specific Uses For Product:** aquarium or fish tank ## Images ![Family of (10) African Cichlids 1.25" Live Tropical Fish Assorted Mbuna Cichlid - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tsgwZts0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Were the families assorted? Any duplicates or all mixed?** A: Couple of duplicates but a good mix selection of healthy fish **Q: I have a 60 gallon tall tank, but is only 12 inches deep. Would that be a good size for 25 cichlids?** A: 60 gallon 12" deep? Well... You can put a good 15 or so, but I wouldn't crowd them with quite that many.. **Q: I have a 55gal with a demonia cichlid in it would my tank be big enough to add thEse and will my demonsi cichlid get along with them??** A: A 55 will be fine, since they are community. They will grow, and depending on the assortment it might get crowded after a while. They are very active, and a 55 will be entertaining to watch with them in it. As far as your other fish, it will depend on many factors. Size, temperament (each is a little different), etc. If you decide to buy them, make sure to rearrange the tank when they get there. It helps cichlids to not be as territorial, if the tank is not “established.” **Q: Did you get a replacement of the fish that died from the seller?** A: Don't learn the importance of quarantine the HARD WAY! Always keep 'at least' a 10-gallon tank ready to set up at a moment's notice. We all get impatient to see our new fish with the old. But you will be happier to see a healthy tank a month from now! next to water changes is patience for keeping your fish and your pocketbook healthy! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid seller *by B***N on June 21, 2023* Ordered a 10 pack and they sent 14, 3 didn’t make the trip but I still have 11 and with a good variety and seem to be in good health.

However, the next morning after adding the fish to my aquarium, there were 2 dead new ones, and all the others had HORRIBLE ich. Worst I've ever seen. I started treatment immediately, but the ich is taking over my tank. I've lost a mating pair of yellow tail acei, one of my mating kennyi, and have 2 large silver dollars I've had for a very long time that are barely clinging to life. On top of that, I've lost 8 of the 14 new fish I bought! These diseased fish have decimated my long running, well established tank. I'm very very angry! Update: my entire aquarium died due to these fish. I'm left with 2 original fish, one of which is barely clinging to life. All of my mating cichlids are dead, my mating silver dollars are dead, all my angel fish are dead, I'm left with 1 pleco, and 4 of the original 14 cichlids this guy sent me. I'm going to have to drain my entire aquarium, vinegar everything, then start from scratch. They issued me a full refund of the purchase price, but considering the massive amount of money I lost due to introducing these HEAVILY diseased fish into my aquarium, is severely inadequate. I went from having a beautiful bountiful aquascape to a heavily diseased and ruined aquarium. Final update: after 4 days, every single one of my original fish are dead (about $250 worth). The only fish that survived was one of the new cichlids I bought from this guy. I just froze him and threw him away. I've spent 3 days draining, using vinegar, scrubbing, running water temp to 90°, and redraining about 3 times to make sure the diseases and parasites the new fish brought to my cichlid tank. I had to open an a to z investigation from Amazon since my monetary loss was so high. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SUPPLIER! Unless you don't care if all of your fish and live plants die. ## Frequently Bought Together - Family of (10) African Cichlids 1.25" Live Tropical Fish Assorted Mbuna Cichlid - TetraCichlid Cichlid Flakes 2.82 oz, Fish Food, Clear Water Advanced Form --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/170321764-family-of-10-african-cichlids-1-25-live-tropical-fish](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/170321764-family-of-10-african-cichlids-1-25-live-tropical-fish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
