Well like I saied there are many cichlids that I find interesting but so far I want a Red Ruby Peacock. I think its color is what I m most attracted to. and I just read a post on the most aggresive cichlid, and I loved the Green Terror that someone has posted its nice. I wish I could post some pictures of my Oscars.

ssmredman have you been looking through the encyclopedia again huh!
Ruby reds are definitely nice peacocks. My LFS has tons of them, $5 for a 2.5" showing color.
He used to have the 'Poseidon' Red Peacock, which was supposed to be a line-bred ruby red, but somehow it dissappeared. Rumor has it that it was a cross between Ruby Red and Sunshine Yellow. It makes the Ruby Red look like a drab fish, if you can believe it. Intense Red throughout!!
Not to point you anywhere else, but do a search for Albino Taiwan Reef. Sweet looking if you like Peacocks/mid-size haps. 5 different areas of color on him.
Best pic I could find quickly. Looks way better in person.

My favorite.... ALL pike cichlids! I currently have a pair of Crenicichla alta, but the female constantly beats the male up, and both of them are onli 4'' long. I think I have to wait a few more weeks; there should be eggs by then. :)

By the time fall season starts I will have enough money to buy 2 120 gallon tanks. in one i will put my 2 oscars and some other cichlids and in the other one I will have nothing but different color Peacocks in there.
