What's your favorite cichlid and why?

 

[Bubbles0oO]

Angelfish!


They are so graceful and have tons of personality!

Geophagus for sure! Lots of personality and great in a community setup.

Never had them but discus. They're patterns and colors are really pretty and cool.

apistogramma cacatuoides. They are small, great color and have personality that's hard to come by in such a little fish

 

[Cichlid ism]

Definitely my Threadfin Heckelli's because they have great color and are pretty peaceful.

If I could afford a 220 or larger it would be the Cyphotilapia frontosa "Zaire blue"
I've always wanted a tank full.

And I thought we were slowly converting you to the right side of the pond! Tis, tis.

I saw a 300+ tank at an office with 7 or 8 of these ranging from 8 to 14" It was so cool seeing them mosey around and nudge each other. You know how it goes so many fish so little space.

And I like blue dolphins. They were always very interesting to me. Maybe because of the name.

But if the rules are what i have and have had it would half to be my A.Heckelii.
The way they dart around the sand looking for left over food is cool.

Cichlasoma salvini, medium sized cichlid with a heavy weight attitude. Its also one of many examples of how you can get great color from new world cichlids.
