Best cichlid?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
One of the reasons JDs seem to be shy when alone, is that in nature they are surrounded by live bearers that they watch to determine threats.
And they have giant caves to dash into when threat is eminent.
Often there are 100 mollies, or gambusia for every 1 JD.

Best cichlids....... black diamond cichlid, otherwise known as Marakely.
 
While I agree Paratilapia are some of the best cichlids, they do get too large for a 50 gal. If you get a juvie, a 50 gal might last a year.

And since we are in the Central American section, it may be worth bringing up that they are Madagascan.
