Most personable cichlid??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Out of all the different types of cichlids I own, when it comes to personable I would have to revert back to my Oscars They always greet me at the glass and can tell the difference between me, and my wife or friends. They always shy away from others but come right to the glass with me. A close second would be the Midevil I had, he was a beast with a personality to match and was always entertaining to watch in the tank. It was like he always had something that needed to get done and was always busy moving gravel around.

My HRP that I got from Jeff rapps, this guy is amazing. He jumps out of the water and grabs Black worms from my hands lol, I never heard of any doing that I will have to try and get this on camera. He is also a prolific breeder, I put him in the tank with my short body convict and the bred the same day, I then took him out and put him in the tank with my calico hrp female and the bred the next lol. Here the best part ( I couldn't believe this ) after the short body females eggs hatch I put him in with her and he took care of the babies. I mean really taking care of them by putting the babies in his mouth and cleaning them. He is the greatest.
 
A hungry fish is most personable. Midas and family eat a lot!
 
<Tilapia buttikoferi is the most personable I've seen in person. He is at the end of my couch and will try to attack anything within about 4' and everyone that comes here has to mess with him. Also watching his colors change from grey to black n white when he really gets mad is cool. I don't decorate his tank I just throw rocks and plastic stuff in and he does the rest.
 
I have a green terror that has an awesome personality
