Són de dimensions mitjanes, tot i que Boulengerochromis microlepis pot assolir els 80 cm de longitud màxima. La forma del cos és molt variable però, generalment, és allargada o ovalada i comprimida lateralment. Coloració de tons apagats en alguns i vistosa en uns altres. Tenen una sola aleta dorsal, la part anterior de la qual té radis espinosos. Tenen un orifici nasal a cada costat del cap. Interrupció de la línia lateral en la majoria de les espècies. Entre 3 i 15 espines a l'aleta anal (generalment, 3). Els mascles solen ser més grossos i amb les aletes més allargades que les femelles.[5][6][7][8]
- En general, acostumen a pondre els ous sobre pedres que anteriorment han estat netejades escrupolosament o sobre una fulla. Els pares es fan càrrec de les cries i les defensaran amb violència dels intrusos. D'altra banda, acostumen a ser peixos molt prolífics i és prou normal que les parelles romanguin unides durant molts anys.
- En les espècies del gènere Apistogramma és comú que els mascles posseeixin diverses femelles i que tinguin accés lliure als territoris de cadascuna d'elles.
- Un curiós mètode de reproducció d'alguns cíclids és la incubació bucal. En aquest cas, els mascles assagen els primers moviments dirigint-se a la femella, la qual lentament pon els seus primers ous i els guarda dins la boca. Tot seguit, el mascle exhibeix la seva aleta anal, en la qual estan dissenyades taques similars als ous. La femella, suposant que es tracta d'ous reals, intenta guardar-los a la boca i, en intentar-ho, s'empassa l'esperma del mascle i així fecunda els ous que té dins de la boca. El desenvolupament dels embrions es desenvolupa en aproximadament 20 dies.[9]
Molts cíclids adults, si tenen l'oportunitat, poden depredar els membres més joves de la seva pròpia espècie (ous, larves i alevins) o d'altres espècies de cíclids. Aquesta pressió depredatòria ajuda a explicar la intensa atenció dels pares envers la seua progènie. Així mateix, les espècies introduïdes(com la perca, per exemple) han resultat desastroses per a molts cíclids endèmics fins a l'extrem de causar l'extinció d'algunes espècies. Els éssers humans també han exercit una intensa pressió sobre aquesta família de peixos al llarg dels segles.[13]
Els cíclids són àmpliament emprats en aqüicultura per al consum alimentari humà. Així, per exemple, a Israel i Àsia els gèneres Oreochromis i Tilapia són molt populars; a l'Amèrica Llatina els gèneres Astronotus, Cichlasoma i Oreochromis; al Carib i a Egipte, les espècies del gènere Tilapia; i a la resta d'Àfrica, Oreochromis.[14]
