ADW: Cichlidae: Information |
 | | There are no concrete figures on the number of genera and species in the Cichlidae family because there are still many revisions being made and a considerable number of species are yet to be described. |
 | | For this reason the systematics of the Cichlidae family are still in a relative state of discord, despite over a century of investigation. |
 | | Conservative estimates are that across the Cichlidae family, 43 cichlids are extinct, five are extinct in the wild, 37 species are critically endangered, 11 species are endangered, 34 species are vulnerable, and one species is at low risk. |
