looking for the most colorful south/central cichlid

[redtailfool]

V.syns are very colorful and have a thick body.

 

[omotocycle1]

try a blue dempsey or i like the texas cichlid...firemouths are still really colorful

 

[sajica]

for Americans with colour you can't beat a female Copora nicaraguense

 

[mudskipper]

discus, geophageus, rams, aspisogrammas, texas, angels, green terror, mature JD, rainbow cichlids, Hi quality convicts(with multi(rainbow)colored dorsals)and so on

 

[cichlid savage]

I think female Red Terrors are gorgeous colorful and aggressive fish. That being said if you ask 100 people this question youll get 90 different answers.

 

[CichlidKid]

try cockatoo cichlid, flower horn, or red terror.

 

[Mr.Geoff]

my vote goes to any dwarf cichlid...i personally like my blue rams..

 

[starrfish71]

have to add my two cents:
first, you don't specify about size preference or temperment- and there is a WIDE range
1)salvini
2)V. synspilum
3)apistos
4)nicaraguense
5)H. bocourtis

Here is my vieja (fenestratus?)

I like his color, but he is a pretty agressive little tough guy

Female red terror or caquetaia spectabilis (called spectacular for a reason )
