I am surprised so many are saying Jag in this thread. I think jags look rather bland.

What Jag's lack in bright colors, They make up for in pattern and have a predatory look that attracts people to them.

Am I the only one who finds EBJD ugly?

Red Texas are cool looking, but they are hybrids.

I think festae's would win if they were on the list.

My vote would probably go for C. sajica but they aren't listed, so I voted Convicts :)

No, did you miss my comment on the previous page about how the always look ill and/or deformed? ;)
 
ya know cichla is my thing.. but there has always been a soft spot in my heart for jags.. they are just awesome and one of these days i will actually own one or two..

ya know angelfish and discus are cichlids too..
 
I chose the other option not taking anything from the fish listed but my favorite would be Umbee

I must have missed that.

I agree 100%, they look OK as juvies, once they (or rather if they) reach maturity they look deformed.

I think regular JDs look better than EBJD.

This is just my opinion, I am not trying to offend.
 
My GT is the best looking cichlid i have owned which is a considerable amount. We will have to see though my EBJD's are too young. H. Bocourti should be added.

truth. EBJD's are usually highly inbred; its just a week gene pool
