Pneumocystectomy in a Midas cichlid
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1995This report illustrates the feasibility of radiography, anesthesia, and coelomic surgery in a pet fish. Pneumocystectomy can improve certain buoyancy disorders in fish.

SUMMARY Bilateral cataracts were detected in a group of aquarium-raised tilapia (Sarotherodon mossam-bicus). Vision impairment was manifested as random swimming into objects, but the fish appeared to function normally otherwise. Most of the lens was opaque, with the outer extent of the cortex and subcapsular region remaining transparent.

Evolution of novelty in the cichlid dentition
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2006AbstractThe shape of teeth occupies a central position in various biological disciplines, from paleo‐ecology to molecular biology to cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. Despite a long tradition of study in mammals, important questions remain regarding the genetic and developmental basis of differences in tooth shape.

The Cichlidae, one of the most diverse families of vertebrates, is the subject of the volume entitled “The Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of Cichlid Fishes” which we introduce here. Cichlids are major members of their communities. They are socioeconomically important in fisheries, aquaculture, and the ornamental trade.

Respiratory Ecology of Cichlids
2021For fishes, the availability of dissolved oxygen (DO) can affect performance and fitness traits and influence distribution patterns. Hypoxia occurs naturally in habitats characterized by low mixing and/or light limitation such as dense wetlands and profundal zones of deep lakes.

Sound Production by Cichlid Fishes
Science, 1965Adults of three cichlid species, Hemichromis bimaculatus Gill, Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum (Günther), and Pterophyllum sp., produce sounds of apparent biological significance. Both sexes of H.

Predator-induced neophobia in juvenile cichlids
Oecologia, 2015Predation is an important but often fluctuating selection factor for prey animals. Accordingly, individuals plastically adopt antipredator strategies in response to current predation risk. Recently, it was proposed that predation risk also plastically induces neophobia (an antipredator response towards novel cues).

Hermaphroditism in Cichlid Fishes [PDF]
, 1975 I would like to discuss a peculiar type of hermaphroditism, which has been discovered in the ‘Mbuna’. The Mbuna are a group of cichlid fishes endemic to Lake Malawi. They are unique in various aspects of taxonomy, so that Fryer (1959), who made a fundamental ecological study of them, proposed to grant them the rank of a tribus. The Mbuna are small fish
