Your favorite Cichlid Genus and Why

[pudgeking]

I am partial to lamprologus (esp. shell dwellers) and julidochromis

 

[FishFreak95]

Parachromis is at the top

I love there body shape and structure and there fins it has some amazing looking species in it. Also has the largest CA cichlids

This is a tough one!

I have a few:

Parachromis-large predators w/ big teeth.
Herichthys-colors and personality.
Thorichthys-colors and attitude.
Astatheros-unique and rare.

1. Osteoglossum: For good luck and prosperity.
2. Amphilophus: Personality fits mine ;-)
3. Caquetaia: Their predatory nature intrigues me.

hmmmm its gotta be a tie for first between Amphilophus and Parachromis. love the predatory build of parachromis and the beast build most amphs posess. cant go wrong with either genus.

Amphilophus for their personality and their profile(love the nuchal humps). Second would be Thorichthys for their amazing gill display and social behavior.

Parachromis -- I like all of them...even the one's they try to make Nandopsis
Ex-Cichlasoma -- I mean they are so badass they dont belong in a click (the Cichlid formerly known as)
Nandopsis -- Awesome powerful fishes yet beautiful
Herichthys -- Beautiful moody fishes
Vieja/Paratheraps -- To me these genus are similar in color, patterns, shape, beauty

Should of made this a poll with the obvious choices 'Parachromis, Amphiophus' etc then a 'other' option at the bottom for the awkwards lol
