Out of all of the cichlids that I have owned so far I would have to say the Red Devil. I Had a large male Red Devil named Diablo that would always meet you at the glass and appear to be comminicating with you. He had personality, and I thought that was so cool. My future favorite cichlid will probably be the Umbee Cichlid. Judging from what I have read and seen, this fish has everything, size, attitude, and beauty. Throw in some personality and what more can you ask for?
