Abstract
The social behavior of cichlid fish emerged as a captivating subject within the realm of ichthyological research. The sociality of these aquatic organisms often encompasses a wealth of intricate elements. Within this complexity, the reproductive biology of cichlids was observed to mirror the characteristics pivotal for progeny propagation and population development. Their social structures were characterized by stringent hierarchies and occupational specialization among individuals. Communication mechanisms were found to be instrumental in ensuring the timely exchange of information across members of the species. Furthermore, population behaviors served as vital conduits, maintaining the cohesion of the aforementioned elements and securing the seamless operation of this organic system. Given these aspects, this study chose these topics as entry points for inquiry, synthesizing recent scholarly work on cichlid sociality to retrace the trajectory of research in this field. This retrospective analysis was conducted to distill clear future directions based on the examined data. The research undertaken provided a scientific reference poised to enhance further inquiry into the enigmatic subject of cichlid sociality, laying a robust foundation for both advancing the study of these fishes and fostering their conservation.
