everyone has a cichlid that they think are just plain ugly. lets here some of your ugly cichlids. ill go first with saying i do not like oscars.
 
i hate almost all cichlids....especially SA and Mbuna...fontosa especially lol
 
Word I really don't like the way old frontosas look, thankfully it takes years before they get that way. O ya I don't like cons either.
 
Chocolate cichlids. I like them, but part of their charm is their ugliness. It's the lumpy forehead almost-but-not-quite nuchal hump that does it.
 
I don't like the looks of ramsdeni. I think their nuchal humps are odd and they don't have good color or patterns. They may be closely related to haitiensis but no where near as good looking. BTW my male con is my best looking fish! He is only 3" or so. The gigantic, old cons don't look good, though.
 
they all have a charm about them. . . Neets could be one of the ugliest, at least when not in breeding color, if for no other reason than they are total A-holes :ROFL:
 
Parrots!
 
I'll agree with chocolate cichlids...not my cup of tea. Also not fond of dovii, salvinis.

 
I think Jags are ugliest and so are your regular black convicts.
