Cichlids you hate!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I hate to say it but festae's and jag's do not have nearly as much personality as a oscar or jack dempsey.

That is your opinion, and I think you could not be more wrong with Jags. This is the cichlid I have kept the most, and I have owned many males that became true pets.
I had a 10inch female that would eat worms right from my hand and then swim around in circles rubbing against my hand. They are so personable that even friends and family would comment on them when they would greet them at the tank and start splashing around. Actually I have been on the fence about getting another one because of space and just reminiscing about them settles it. I'm grabbing some this weekend. I can find room for another tank. Whereas I have never had a jack that offered much to me and I found them boring. I will always have an oscar though.
I dont hate any cichlids.
 
Must have been the one's you had, man. My female I just got is as greedy and as active and reacts to when I even turn the light on in the room, just like my oscar! I guess all fish are different!

Off topic, I love that oscar in your avatar.
 
I think in general most cichlids are rad. I find some to be less appealing than others but I hate none. I'd take any cichlid over having no cichlid.
