Which Solitary bad ass would you keep?

[kdblove_99]

I want to get one Solitary badass Cichlid. I've narrowed it down and have 1 really leading the pack but wanted to see what you all thought of these.

Dovii
Umbee
Midas
Agentea
Managuensis
Haitiensis


Cheers,

Davey

The solitary rules are just hyped up myths. I have owned all those fish, and have had each and every one of them in group/community tanks. I do love doviis, umbees,and argenteas though.
Really besides certain members of the parachromis family that list is full of fish that are usually only aggressive when provoked, hungry, or mature.

I find red devils, trimacs, and buttikofferi to be savages also. Really depends on fish, but buttikofferi and Dovii are usually beast even at a young age.

What size is the tank? That's one of the most important things to take into consideration when trying to answer a question like this.

I've kept them all, except Umbee, only because I haven't had a large enough tank, they are all great fish. But even the dovii was too large for my largest tank , and I had to give it to someone with a larger tank to be reasonable. Never really thought any were badass, in fact in certain situations they were all quite shy, but to each his own.
All pics below were my fish, managuense was the first cichlid to spawn for me, way before I had a camera.

Tank is a 210G. 7x2x2. It doesn't actually have to be the meanest fish, Just Most bad ass looking Buttikofferi are kinda meh to me. I have owned one and it was probably the meanest fish i have ever owned.
