most beautiful african cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My favorite for now is the Copadichromis trewavasae. My male looks just like the one in this picture and he has all three of his females holding eggs right now.

I love all the ones I have...I don't think I could narrow it down to just one! But my Red Empress male is certainly becoming more colorful by the day...and I can't wait until my O. Lithobates start transforming! I don't think there is a single "most beautiful", but they are all very cool and interesting.
 
IMHO Paracyprichromis nigripinnis is one of the most beautiful cichlids out there followed closely by Copadichroimis Borlyi Kandango
 
The Most Beautifule African IMO would be a either Labidochromis chisumulae

or Cynotilapia lion 'Cape Kaiser'

I like aulonocaras from malawi becuase of the virbrant colors, but its still a hard question. Alot of tropheus also look pretty cool and comps have their beauty to them to alot of fish look good =) Frontosas also have beautifull coloring depending on the kind you get. I also like tilipia species of any kind they always tend to catch my eye =p

Woot woot!! Go Ash! Sell that fish for me!! J/K. The colors on them are great! But I too like fronts more.

BTW I might not have to get rid of mine. I'm up grading to a 125 and if they get along I'll keep him.
