I consider Cichla to be Cichlids so I would agree Cichla Fogo is the most desirable. Anyone who keeps Cichla would sell their first born for one haha.

Number one on my list is a Location Z Umbee! Then Haitiensis, Istlanum Green, Istlanum Red, and Gorillus Black
 
Wild caught Red Devils. And wild caught Midas. If everyone had one we could get rid of the word midevil.

If every hobbyist had one you would still need to cull every single one from lfs wholesalers not mention any ferals. Making hobbyist only keep f0 will only work if there was no idiot anywhere buying a midevil from petsmart to mix with his f0 or catching a huge canal male to mate with his wild female.

I think the most desired on MFK (not your typical fish keepers that only go to their LFS for fish) are:

(In no particular order)

Nandopsis Haitiensis
Nandopsis Grammodes
Nandopsis Istlanum
Nandopsis Beani
Amphilophus Festae
Amphilophus Lyonsi
Vieja Argentea
Vieja Synspilus
Geophagus Winemilleri
Geophagus Altifrons
Caequetia Umbriferus
Parachromis Dovii
Parachromis Loisellei
Parachromis Motaguense
Herichthys Bartoni
Herichthys Bocourti
Uaru Fernandezyepezi
 
With how popular the cf ornatus are on here, I'd imagine actual ornatus would have to be pretty high on the list.
