Cichlids lend themselves nicely to certain forms of art, in particular, drawing. My interest lies in technical illustration and I have several examples below. Click on the images to see better views of the drawings (thumbnails sometimes play havoc with art).

The illustrations on this page are mine. To see some really fine scientific illustration, check out the work of Tamara Clark (Eden Art).
