Summary : A great deal of cichlids live in the numerous other rivers and lakes of Africa. Among these bodies of water are the Zaire, Zambezi, Nile, Gambia, and Niger Rivers; the Okavango River Delta, the Sierra Leone regions; the rainforests of Central Africa; and lakes Albert, Volta, and Victoria. The water of these various bodies of water is often acidic, although some are known to be alkaline. Since these African species differ so much in behavior, feeding habits, biotopes, and size, no general suggestions covering most of the group, can be made.
