I've only owned two cichlids, so not much of a competition. But, this is my old blue titanium flowerhorn that passed away about a month ago.

These are my JDs and my breeding pair of firemouths. They started out in a 55 (the pic of the two JDs w/ a firemouth) then got moved to the white sand 120g (JDs/catfish) the firemouths started spawning and terrified everyone in the 120 so they got moved to a 29g (black gravel) and they are now in their own 55g (no pic) happily planning their next spawn.

My all-time favorites are Australoheros oblongum, mid-size but very mellow fish. Here's a couple pics of my breeding pair:
Male

Females look just as good, just smaller:

The red-spotted severums are great too IMO:

My frontosas (the black and white striped ones with blue fins) they are awesome fish, so mellow and majestic.

Never heard of these before, but they are absolutely gorgeous! And your severums are to die for.
