So everyone wants to know the toughest, most agressive, meanest..... to switch it up what do you think the fastest cichlid would be? My vote is for ze jaguar!

Every fish I have can sprint faster than I can blink. I've seen them (or didn't) get to the other side of a 4' or 6' tank in that time. Cutteri are fast and agile. I've seen them jump out of the water to get over the net, seen that many times. Here's a lesson learned for ya: don't raise cutteri fry in a display tank thinking it will be a great place to growout your feeders. I had to empty that tank 6 times by the time I rehomed or feed them off.
 
My vote goes to grammodes, that guy took a little while to catch in my 6' tank. As far as all cichlids go, I would say any african mbuna. When I worked at a LFS I hated catching those guys.
 
peacock bass they are built for speed
 
Yeah peacocks.....but for that matter any predator will be fast. but with a fast predator there is always a faster Prey......Natural selection!!!!:popcorn:
 
Peacock Bass would be the fastest SA/CA Cichlid but Mbuna are the fastest from my experience working in a LFS!!!
