least favorite cichlid?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I feel like this thread has been done before... And can we please say exculding hybrids so we don't have any problems :)

I think I like almost every type of cichlid to some extent. But after keeping them I would say salvini are my least favorite. I am not saying I would no keep them again but their personality and body shape don't do it for me...
 
Oscars and (i guess a flowerhorn with that huge hump is a hybrid, that would be next), and midas. But I love the true devils, just dont care for the citrinellus.
 
I like all sa/ca cichlids. Now when it comes to africans I can't stand yellow labs and auratus, I wish it were illegal for lfs to have a "mixed african cichlid" tank.
 
Red Devil/Midas (RD complex), very overrated in aggression. They use to be my favorites, I always thought they were tough and had the impression they were real bruisers, until my little paradisefish/gourami killed my Midas. The Midas was 2x bigger.
 
LoL you don't have to explain, I was just kidding. There's bound to be someone who gets their panties in a bunch over this thread though...I imagine that's why Mike tried so hard to convey he wasn't dogging on Oscars.

:popcorn:

Lord knows I don't need to get into a scuffle with that Oscar rights activist who's bound to find this thread soon and explain why it's IMPOSSIBLE to hate the "original wet pet".
