Some of mine. [PIC HEAVY! Be glad I reduced them from 16.2MP]
My buttikoferi. He's back to the LFS now after he reached 8". Went psychotic after reaching that size. Good appetite, eats just about anything. Very intelligent and personable.
My female golden Oscar. She is 12" currently. Hand-fed and very personable. Constantly begging for food.
My red Oscar, male and the golden Oscar's SO. Turns aggressive during mating season. Very personable also. He's currently 12". Just realized, I don't have a good picture of him. The colors are surely brilliant.
My female 14" albino Oscar. She's not with me now. Still alive there in the LFS and thriving. Very timid though. You'll recognize her by a hole in her right "temple". Got her like that. Had to give her away after a datnoid scale-stripped her.
My 13.5" male albino Oscar. Same as my female in every way and same incident with the datnoid. Somebody took him as a wet pet now though I doubt that coz he is just dumb/bland and no personality at all.
My 7" green terror (he's less than 6" here). Love him too much. I give him food first. He's just cute and personable. Constant digger. Loves shrimp, mealworms and eats almost anything except veggies of course.
My 7" severum. Very very brave. I rescued him in a tank housing a 12" red devil with few other RD's below 8". Love this one, too. He only comes out when I am around. He knows that coz I will have the music turned out very loud.
My 15" moculus/ocellaris hybrid. He is more beautiful now than here. Too lazy to operate my Nikon D7000 right now. He is a murderer. Love him coz he knows when it is shrimp time. He loves them with vengeance. He is now the SO of my other female.
My 14" monoculus/ocellaris hybrid male. He's gone. He died from stress last week battling to be my female's attention. The one above is the culprit.
My 13" female. Same as the males. She currently hates the GT.

Guys cichla are not cichlids. if we are including cichla then we would have to include bass and sunfish and possibly marine groupers and damselfish.
I thought so, too. I needed to do a Wikipedia double take before I posted. At the back of my mind, their taxonomy is like how close an Oscar or an angelfish to, say a Nile tilapia, can get. They are all under the same family.
