Look don't take it personally. It was just odd how that guy came to the cichlid section specifically to say they sucked. Seems like a really a-hole thing to do. But me personally find most of your average community fish boring especially compared to cichlids. I never said they weren't great fish their just no all that interesting too watch. We are not all going to have the same taste in fish that's just how it is.
I would think the majority of us would be mature enough to accept the fact that we all don't have to like the same fish. I know for me I love african cichlids yet I know a lot of people on here don't. I am not going to cry every time someone says they don't like africans. It's just their taste. Their crazy/messed up taste
