Best "Solo" cichlid?

[goldenballer]

that's why i was thinking about getting a Jag and a pair of cons or something.... aha it looks pretty empty in their aha . or the jag and something else . and i really hate it when fish rip out the plants and move things around -.- theres also a chance it'll break my tank(glass) lol i would probably have to eat the RD if he did lol

i voted other before i seen your origianal post. i was going to say a male dovii since they are nice looking fish and get the largest of the ca. seeing your doing a 125 id go with the jag but if you do raise about 3 of them in there because jags patterns can be alot different and you want to keep the nicest one.

I'd say a high quality flowerhorn as I've seen some nice set ups with solo fh's. But there are many CA's that look great such as synspilum that develop some amazing nauchal humps and bright coloration. Viejas are sights to see.

okay but does the jag interact/know their owner? i think i might go with a midas because i can house a pair in their lol and they know their owners! but by looks the jag wins by a landslide

 

[goldenballer]

who agrees? don't you guys think the jag looks alot better than the midas?

 

[Miguel]

it does, in a way.

But does not compare as a wet pet/ glass banger....

aha so true , got 3 midas from Big als.... how do you know if they will be spotchy? (like have white and red, black and yellow or yellow and white? ) theres also a lot of hiding spots in the tank so i barely see them should i remove the hiding spots? how do i make him a glass banger? make him bully/eat feeders? he's gonna be my only fish so he has to be special ! i need a camera !!! lol

oscars still my faverite i own a jag a oscar and a midas the oscar the most wet pet like then the midas/rd then the jag but the jag is more pretty but a good looking midas pair is better

 

[goldenballer]

the fully orange midas looks rather lame IMO , the white, red and white and others will a few different colours on them looks way better
