I definitely like africans better since i feel they have more interesting coloring and cooler personalities IMO. I also like the fact i can keep more of them in a tank than i could say red devils or other larger SA
 
I can't pick one over the other
 
ok i take back the personality part for africans. how many african cichlids recognize who their owners are when it comes time to feed em?
 
i am now keeping africans for the first time after oscars, pikes, butti's and red devils and a few others along the way. i gotta say while africans look good they are boring as hell.
 
i iddn;t think the poll would be so one sided for SA and CA but thats why i put it there...... to test the general MFK population
 
well i though about my answer i did vote for south americans. if your doing discus than my answer is still sa, but if your not interested in discus i would say african.
 
Its hard to pick, I like both type of cichlids... they both are amazing and fun in their own ways. But i do have more South Americans currently.
 
SA/CA hands down for me. ive kept africans before and i think they suck and theyre boring. only thing they got going is cute colors. other than that, its :thumbsdow

Africans or South American Cichlids?


You know that cichla stands for peacock bass all the time if im not mistaken and not all cichlids. Just wanna point you in the right direction and not make a mistake.

But i love peacock bass and most if not all south americans. But whats good about african rift lake cichlids is they breed like rabbits in the right tank setup.
