Algal dermatitis in cichlids

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2002
Three varieties of a popular African cichlid aquarium species, Pseudotropheus zebra, from 2 tropical fish farms in east central Florida were submitted for diagnostic evaluation because of the development of multifocal green lesions. The percentage of infected fish in these populations varied from 5 to 60%.

The “infantilization” of a cichlid fish

Developmental Psychobiology, 1980
AbstractThis paper reports a rather remarkable phenomenon, which we have termed “infantilization.” Young acaras, 7 to 17 days postspawning age and normally freely swimming, will resume their nesting phase when placed with foster parents' brooding embryos or wrigglers.

Pneumocystectomy in a Midas cichlid

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

Cataracts in Cichlid Fish

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1981
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.

The genetics of niche-specific behavioral tendencies in an adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes

Science
Behavior is critical for animal survival and reproduction, and possibly for diversification and evolutionary radiation. However, the genetics behind adaptive variation in behavior are poorly understood.

Evolution of novelty in the cichlid dentition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2006
AbstractThe 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.

Respiratory Ecology of Cichlids

2021
For 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.
