Welcome to Peacock Cichlid Zone! We’re glad you’re here. These Terms and Conditions lay out the ground rules for using our website. We know reading legal documents isn’t the most exciting thing in the world, so we’ve written this as clearly as possible.
By browsing or using our website at https://peacockcichlidzone.com, you agree to these terms. If you disagree with anything here, please don’t use our site, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
1. About Our Website
Peacock Cichlid Zone is an informational and educational blog dedicated to Peacock Cichlids (Aulonocara species) and related freshwater fish topics. We publish guides on care, feeding, tank setup, health, breeding, and species identification.
We are not a pet shop, we do not sell fish or equipment directly, and we are not licensed veterinarians. Everything on this website is meant to support and inspire fish enthusiasts, not replace professional aquarium or veterinary advice.
2. Content Is for Informational Purposes Only
All the articles, guides, tips, and information on Peacock Cichlid Zone are created with care and based on research, personal experience, and hobbyist knowledge. However, fish keeping involves living animals, and every situation can be different.
Please keep in mind:
• Our content is meant to inform and educate, not to serve as professional or veterinary advice.
• Always use your own judgment and consult a qualified aquarium specialist or vet when dealing with serious fish health issues.
• We cannot be held responsible for any harm to your fish, tank, or property resulting from following the advice on our website.
3. Intellectual Property
All content on this website, including articles, guides, images, graphics, logos, and the overall design, belongs to Peacock Cichlid Zone and our contributing authors unless otherwise stated.
This means you are welcome to:
• Read, share, and refer to our content for personal, non-commercial use
• Link back to our articles from your own blog or social media (we love that!)
But please do not:
• Copy, reproduce, or republish our articles in full without written permission
• Use our images on your own website or social channels without crediting us
• Sell or commercially use any of our content
If you’d like to feature our content somewhere, just reach out, we’re usually happy to work something out.

We reserve the right to block access to anyone who misuses the site or violates these terms.
5. Third-Party Links and Products
Our website may contain links to external websites, such as care resources or other fishkeeping blogs. These links are provided for your convenience.
Please understand:
• We don’t control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.
• Clicking those links and making purchases is entirely at your own discretion.
• Some of our links may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the website running for free.
We only recommend products and resources we genuinely believe are useful for fish keepers.
6. Google AdSense and Advertising
We will only display advertisements on our website through the Google AdSense program. This helps us maintain the website and keep all our content free for everyone.
A few things to note about ads:
• Ads are served automatically by Google’s systems based on your browsing behavior and our page content.
• We do not personally endorse or vet every individual advertisement that appears on our pages.
• We do not display ads on pages where it would be inappropriate or misleading.
• Our editorial content is completely independent from our advertising — what we write is never influenced by who advertises on our site.
7. Accuracy of Information
We work hard to make sure everything we publish is accurate and up to date. Our team researches each article carefully before publishing. That said, the world of aquarium keeping is always evolving, new research emerges, recommendations change, and species data gets updated.
We do our best to keep content current, but we cannot guarantee that every piece of information on our site is complete, accurate, or timely at all times. Always cross-check critical care information, especially when it comes to fish health or medications.
