ugliest non-hybrid cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
parrots are hybrids.
i was joking about discus because of how off-track the thread got.
i don't know what I would pick, maybe texas cichlids?
 
uarus are trailer-park discus
 
I don't like oscars because they're so common and people go on and on about how smart they are, but in truth, they're no more intelligent than other big cichlids, they just are more common, so there are more people to spread that myth. That being said, I don't think they're ugly.

When it comes to looks, I don't care for the face of a parrot cichlid, so I guess I'd go with them, but there are less common cichlids out there that are probably uglier - less colorful.
 
I love how a lot people mention parrot but the title of the thread clearly start "Non-Hybrid".

LOL... I was gonna say the same thing dude, but decided I'd leave it be, given there is a species of cichlid commonly known as a parrot, that is not a hybrid... quite a nice looking fish, imo. But yeah... the parrots referred to in this thread are hybrids. LOL...

By the way, I'm a Steelers fan... I'm laughing, but kinda insulted, at the same time! LOL... :ROFL:

Hoplarchus psittacus, or the "true" parrot Cichlid. Not a bad looking fish...

Oh, and for me, it's a lot of the SA geos and satanoperca... Sorry Justin. They just don't appeal to me and they always seem to have a dumb look on their face. Some of them have great colors though.
