Your favouate "individual". C/A cichlid.

[Marc280106]

With a difference to the usual "Post your favourate cichlid" thread's.
Just a bit of fun, hoping it's not to lame and for plenty of participation.

For whatever reason, is there a particular individual cichlid you become compelled to search and admire upon frequenting such forum's as this? Maybe i'm alone here...... i'm not sure. But humor me.

Do share your envy of the proud keeper's effort's to raise such a healthy specimen into aldulthood with the world.

For myself, this is the one. A greater conditioned Herichthys carpinte there could not possibly have been. I'm forever viewing old thread's about this fish and have made it my goal to assist my young male on his way to looking half as good as this guy.

I've always enjoyed Mota's (gold and red). Favorite Cichlid. Just the right amount of color and attitude.

I think he means a specific one. Like out of all the Mota's you've ever seen, was there one that stood out more than the others?

This is kinda difficult.. Mainly as There are a few that I love!! To pin it down obviously Cichla The body shape,head structure and Colors are just bedazzling to me

The Jaw structure has to be my single most favorite body part!! Mainly as it is just so awesome!! The way each piece fits and is connected to the next!!

Here are a couple favorites shots Can you see why

Male Umbriferium hands down.

Cichla of course no other compares. The first one is this one for me. I saw it and fell in love so much I bought it! And never looked back since. There colors are amazing and they exude MFK from every aspect. ( I do love Dovii's as well)

Thanks mate.

That's basicly what i'm gettin' at. I've sunk a fair few brew's, so i understand if i've confused some of you.

Male Umbriferium hands down.

Any particular male Umbee you'd strive to get your male to resemble? Ie. Cichlidscene's tankbuster, Roliva's, Emk's etc.

Yes, Tongue. I can see the reasoning behind that selection, it truely is an amazing looking predator.
