Your favorite cichlid and why?

i think mine currently is my Kilesa as they cost me some money and they build really cool breeding pits.

these are just a taste of the pics. i am saving the good ones for the contest. lol.

Looking good David.

Mine would have to be the Frontosa. Always has always will be. Big, colorful, peacful and very good friend. Can hand feed them. very smart fish also.

Mine are, you guessed it! BLOOD PARROTS! They have so much character built in their little bodies and I've seen play soccer with a ping pong ball before. They huddle together at night when sleeping in a flowerpot and will team up and beat up a bigger fish if it's mean to them.

We just need to make a poll...

Thats like asking which of my kids I like best, thats tough....

OK I gotta go with C moorii. Thats a suprise, isnt it...

I would think so. You have like 300 of em! Must be hard to sell them.

I would never get rid of my flowerhorn or blood parrots. I'd be like giving away your dog or cat. Just not gonna do it unless its like $5,000,000

True true..Although I'm getting sick of my flowerhorn. Half of my fishies tails are torn up b/c I took out the holey rock for them to hide in. I need a 40gallon.. Too expensive...

So ur frontosas is 18 years old now>Or that is a really old picture?

Having a fish die is sad....I rememebr when I was 7 and I poured milk into a 100 gall with piranhas. Killed everything. Man, was I sad.

Hmmmmm.... Well i think i would go with a Lemon Jake, Baenschi, or Red Top Lwanda. I like them all i couldn't decide I love the yellow and blue mix....

Well it's the only thing I have since i can't find a good dealer out here and have to order all my fish. But my Tang. tank is coming. I have a free 75g thats is going to house lake tang. or saltwater i can't decide.

Cyphotilapia Frontosa for me. Majestic creatures from Lake Tanganyika.

Here's my Third Favorite:

Metriaclima Msobo Magunga Deep - I think they reclassified these guys are Pseudotropheus now.
