Cichlids with visible teeth

[Flexxx]

I love to see monster cichlids showing off their weapons of mass distruction. I had an Islantum cichlid that had a wicked set of teeth. I also had a Jaguar that had a nice set of small fangs, which I thought was rare. What other cichlids have visible teeth other than Istlantum, Jaguar, and Wolf cichlids?

there are quite a few......Trimac's, Umbee's, lots of Africans do.......to many to mention but there out there.

Dwarf Mbuna (mini-monsters) have the worst teeth IMO aside from piranhas of course. Not as scary looking as they are smaller, but they do a lot more damage than the big cichlids. As they are made for scraping algea off rocks (they've got heavy duty lips too) they are really deadly in a fight. When the males go at it, fins are gone in seconds & scales literally rain down onto the bottom .The snap when they break a lip-lock is audible outside the tank on a 3.5" fish. I tried keeping a flowerhorn twice their size in with them once and they took most of her face off in a day, had to remove her. She did recover but it took a long time to grow back her lips.

With my old jaguar cichlid you could see his fangs as well. Can't think of any others at the moment

That big male Dovii in the pic looks armed and dangerous. I like that!
