the firemouth i just got rid of. Worst fish ever, attacked everything up to twice his size, chased everything his size or smaller in any size tank 20-300 Tried them all with no luck. I dont know if i hardly ever saw him NOT gill flare. I actually explained how horrible this fish was to the store manager where i donated him,so someone else didnt fall victim like I did.
stunningly beautiful fish though......
Overall though Id say convicts even though I have a female that s a stunner

For me it has to be either blood parrot or flowerhorn because they are unnatural cichlids created in labs are just trouble. "Blood parrots grow 12", get gravel stuck in their deformed mouthes and lay sterile eggs everywhere polluting the tank!"~Practical fishkeeping magazine. Flowerhorns are the reason that the Trimac cichlid is nearly extinct from the hobby. Overall I think i'll have to go for The blood Parrot cichlid
Sterile eggs? AHAHAHA. What a fail. Flowerhorns are here to stay, as are Trimacs. Dang, purists getting butthurt over nothing LOL
I was never crazy about Neets, but it's tough to think of what my leat favorite is. Blood Parrots are butt ugly but would they be considered a cichlid they're not found in nature but if we're throwing them in then that's my pick.
Mine would have to be the OSCAR. . .I have never actually owned one (due to the fact its my least fav), so im not making this statement on the reasons of owning one but just the mere fact that they are kinda ugly especially when most of them lose there colours (fades) and get skew lips from fighting with others.
In the oscar defence, i have seen a few stunning specimens
