What cichlid effected you the most?

[EJKC]

What of your cichlids has effected your view of the cichlid nation the most?
My old Female dovii effected me. She was small, quick and powerful. I thought from that day on I beleived that some cichlids are just given bad names when really they are what everyone says they can be.

Oscars are what got me really serious about this hobby. I had aquariums in my house since I was a little kid, but when I was about 13 I got my first oscar. Ever since I have had a serious addiction to fishkeeping, especially cichlids.

Keeping oscars and other cichlids also showed me just how intelligent and mischevious a fish can be!

Although it sounds cliche, I would have to go with oscars as well. Although salvinis and red devils also make the list.

It was Oscars, RDs, and GTs that turned me onto cichlids.

Oscars are really great fish. They were the first cichlids I ever got. And they impacted my life but I felt like the Dovii was a lot more of a excitment to me.

Festae and Jaguars for me. The Jaguar cichlid I used to have was the most intelligent fish I have ever seen. And my Festae are the most beautiful

Oscars were my 1st cichlids. Large Characins are my hobby - however Festae, Parachromis, and large Rift lake Haps keep me a cichlid guy.

For me it was Convicts. Their character and parenting behaviour got me hooked.

I have always liked GTs and heros but recently its been Uarus that really keep me interested they are so outgoing, beautiful, not too big, and can defend themselves. I have 2 now, but I eventually would like a shoal of about 6.
