I would need to separate by continent and/or geographic area, and only break down by genus.
My favorite African genus.....Stomatepia

favorite Asian genus .....Etroplus

Madagascan .....Paretroplus

southern South American......Gymnogeophagus

northern South America.... the ornatum clade

North America......Nandopsis

Central Americans are the most difficult for me because all are amazing
