What is the most beautifully colored African cichlid?

[RDFISHGUY]

Usisya and placidochromis phenochilus are 2 of my favs. I also like the fuscotaeniatus and rostratus, venustus, Taiwon Reef, Ngara flametail, Mbenji, Copadichromis gold chrest, zimbawe rocks lithobates, otter point jacobfreibergi, aulonacara baenschi, lemon jake and most of the others in the bottom pic.

There are too many to pic just one.
