What would you get??

Just wanted to see what you're opinions/suggestions are. I am planning to get one more tank up and running and would like another pair maybe just one specimen depending on my final tank size. Right now I am thinking of Parachromis fredrichstahli....motaguensis....loisellei.....or a festa. Currently will be keeping jaguar pair and hope to get a dovii pair out of the 4 I have now. Post any info you would like...pics....suggestions...personalities of your fish from the species above. Would love to hear from those of you that have any of the above. I will be getting them from this year ACA convention so it will be a little while.

I don't have any at the moment, but just bases on color and appearance I would go with the festae...few cichlids can compare to them (female especially)

+1 i havent seen any fish that beats the colors of a festae pair when breeding they are absolutely gorgeous though personality wise the other fish on your list may be more outgoing

I would go for the RTMs ive only found the gold versions around here would love a pair of those and the tank need not be large like the red terrors would need.

Festae is the way to go... I am watching my female move all of her eggs to another pot and I see some wigglers in there. There is nothing better than watching her at work!

Yeah dude. festae all the way. With it's breeding dress on, one of the sexiest fish around.

festae dude

You can't go wrong either way! Para's have personality, festae have looks! Rtms have a little of both so that would be my choice!

Could you post some pics of your female when she is not colored out.
