Discus are considered by many to be the "best" aquarium fish. Most people call it fish snobbery.

All I know is, discus are SA cichlids, and I like 'em. So I guess if that makes me a snob... so be it.

I like discus as well. Fish snobbery is when people hate fish because they are common or cheap and think some fish are somehow better than others.
 
Festae and red headed cichlids are my fav. Also even though they are hybrids I love Flowerhorns !
 
Convicts are one of my favorite fish. They are seriously under credited.

I guess I can understand that... I get what your saying.

I just like cool looking, colorful cichlids, and discus fit the bill for me... as do the cichlids on my list, and many that I did not include, for risk of having a list too long! LOL...

In some form or fashion, I like and/or appreciate all cichlids... even those I would not keep.

One cool thing about cichlids is, there are different characteristics to love about each species. I love oscars for different reasons than I love argentaes... with I love for different reasons than I love discus... wich I love for different reasons than I love bocourti... and festae... etc., etc., etc. And I haven't even mentioned the africans I love! LOL...

Cichlids are so versatile, there's something for everyone!
