least favorite cichlid?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say that mine would be the oscar. But the jag is a close second just because its just everywhere now. I'm not a huge fan of the easy to find cichlids but that doesnt mean they are still cool. Im just into the harfer to find cichlids now. I cant go a week without someone selling a jag, oscar or jack on CL for free or a rediculous price
 
Oscars hands down..

Next would have to be small african cichlids..

And severums.
 
I don't like 99% of oscars I see in pet stores. HOWEVER, I really like some of the wild variant oscars.

JD and Convicts for me. Although some of the calico convicts are really nice to look at :D

I think a poll would have been very interesting as well.
 
If they count, Cichla. they are large, ugly, boring, they all look the same, and I'm fed up of clicking on a post thinking its Crenicichla but reading it wrong.
I know a lot of guys on here love them so obviously They do have appeal just to me they never have and never will.

if cichla don't count then I suppose I would go with Barred Midas. It's a pointless fish.

Midas are bright and beautiful but their drawback is they are aggressive and tend to have to be kept alone, at least visitors will say "wow look at that is it marine? its so bright"
if you have a barred Midas its big aggressive and dull. makes it look like you just caught some kind of dull fish from a lake and shoved it in your tank lol.
 
Agree that the least favorite for me are the ones with large nuchal humps. Not a fan of Amphilophus species looks wise, never kept them though.
