Which SA/CA cichlid is the most beautiful/colorful in your opinion?

[darippa]

Vieja Synspilum. Pure, not watered down! Of course.

 

[arapaimag]

Rocio octofasciata and Vieja synspilum are my favorites. With about 100 other species close behind.

i would have to say female festae and i think its the winner of this thread as it was mentioned in more posts then any other fish. but my 2nd would be a argentae.

For me, it is a Tie between Creamsickle Midas colored like my old male(Sorry for poor wuality) or Pei Chang's Male Midas and the Honduran Jags that Mo Has. Mo, I hope ya don't mind I linked your pic.

I love the look of a Male JD, the Tex, and... my Carpinte.

I think these fish are just gorgeous...

Don't have one, but I think Jags are also really nice...

 

[Leptar]

Cichlasoma ornatum pic does not do this fish justice...

Cichlasoma salvini stunning...

Caquetaia spectabilis from orange to powdery blue/teal purty..

Australoheros facetus - on the hotter colors, yellow, gold, orange, reds

Thorichthys ellioti -Blue, greens, red and oranges..
