i think SA/CA cichlids are by far the most beautiful-especially some of the dwarf like species!

By far Sa/Ca cichlids. A lot of colors, shapes, sizes and not to mention ATTITUDE!!!!!!

Microgeophagus Ramirezi IMO. if it was at least 10" at adult it would be a stunner. only thing that lets it down in my eyes is its size.

You must not have seen a full grown Champsachromis Caerulius or a Benthochromis Tricotti.

I would have to say discus to, but I also like peacock africian cichlids.

Nuff said. Haps are friggin awesome! My current favorite has to be the show quality champ I just saw. Simply stunning.

SA Cichlids to me seem to be the nicest. I really like discus and am planning to setup a 75 gallon to keep about 6

the rotkeil severum I used to have is probably the nicest I have ever seen for a wildtype cichlid:

to this day I cannot bear to delete the pics of him off my computer. I have tons. I hope to get some more for my current 150g
