least favorite cichlid?

[rrcoolj]

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...

I would say the deformed version of EBJD. They have some Frankenstein in them, an experiment that went bad.

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.

Oscars are just ugly to me. But to each their own.

And if we're considering hybrids.....I REALLY hate parrots.

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.

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".
