What's your favorite Cichlid?

I am new into fish (about 6 months) but i love oscars for their personality, convicts for their overall aggression and behavior, and green terror based on looks.
I have 5 juvenile convicts (2 pink, 3 black), 3 juvenile oscars (that will eat out ofmy hands) and a black piranha, but i ordered me some green terrors, and they will be in on friday.

I like all cichlid but my favorite would have to be this African Bumble bee / Hornet. This 3" little guy can hold his own when needed. He can change color in an instant. From a bright yellow with dark black bands to a dark grayish / black. Gets along well with his tank mates too, especially a 5" Texas I have. I call him Buzz for obvious reasons.

For the Americans I like the Geos ( Daemon), belly crawlin' pikes. Steato. Cassuarius and Nanno. Nudiceps are cool kinda pike-like africans. Lamp.ocellatus "gold", has the heart of a lion. Hap. Compressiceps, Cyp. Leptosomas, Lamp. Lemarii and Buescheri.
