neets or panama cichlid- which would you rather have?

[bradleyagregg]

i have a 37 gallon cube tank laying around and was wanting to do a breeding pair of small cichlid. ive whittled it down to these two.
panama cichlid-pros are really nice coloring, i can obtain f1 fry locally, aggressive lil buggers cons- no nuchul hump

neets- pros are vicious and full of personality, grow a nuchul hump
cons-would have to order and not much color

what would you do and why

What is a Panama Cichlid?

Cryptoheros panamensis

I am partial to neets, but I dont know that Id keep them in a 37 cube. Mine are brutal to each other and tankmates in a 265...so much so that I had to split my pair into 2 separate tanks.

 

[MonteSS]

Go for the Panamesis.

I would not even consider Neets in that size tank
