 Cichlids can have maternal, paternal, or biparental care.Maternal care is most common among mouth-brooders, however cichlids' common ancestor is thought to exhibit paternal-only care.Other individuals outside of the parents may also play a role in raising young; in the biparental daffodil cichlid (Neolamprologus pulcher), closely related satellite males, those males who surround other males territories and attempt to mate with female cichlids in the area, help rear the primary male's offspring as well as their own.
