The passionate Firemouth. Nothing more beautiful that a well-conditioned male ready to court. Guppygranny.

 

angels, and discus are gorgeous too!

 

The African Cichlids.

 

I would have to say Angels.

 

Well I would have to say my African Albino

 

Right now, definitly angels... but having said that, I LOVE your discus pictures... what kind are they? I've only seen blue or green...

can't decide ??? ???.jack dempsey,red devil,convict,green terror,and firemouth.sorry that's as much as I could narrow it down.

 

I don't know much about cichlids, but I have heard that oscars are very fascinating fish.

 

OSCARS!!! ;D

 

So everyone ive set up a poll to find out which is the most liked type of cichlid on fishlore

I voted for South american

 

South American by far.

 

S. American!

 

You forgot Central American And the dwarfs are South American, assuming you are referring to Rams and such

 

South American

 

ooopsy I knew I would froget something, and yesI was referring to rams and such lol

 

African Cichlids Mbuna

 

south americans... angels ROOOL!!!

 

malawI

 

As much as I love my mbuna, I had to vote "other africans" I am in love w/ the coloration of the western cichilds.. they are amazing!

Of coarse I showed pics tonight at work of my mbuna, the people couldn't believe that fw fish had that coloration.
I also got asked for my number so they could buy some! Especially after I told them how easy they are to care for.

 

Wow cool, I couldnt believe it when my friends grandma wanted to by some baby guppies the other day lol, I'm definitly selling them

 

i'd have to say southern america

 

malawi. the americans have all the personality and the malawI have more beauty. ive found anyway.

 

Hybrid Bloody Parrots

 

whatever category severums are under =p

 

I like lake malawI cichlids better

 

South American, in particular the Bolivian Rams. I love the blue rams, but I'm too new to the hobby to risk it. My Bolivians are great and have a lot of personality!

 

I love the colours of the lake malawI but especially the features of the electric blues how they change colour. Electric yellows and manganos also fascinate me

 

I definitely would go for South American Cichlids!

 

south americans are really nice

 

What is ya'lls favorite cichlid that is colorful and not too heavily aggressive?

Thanks

 

colombian ram!!!

 

if your looking for african cichilds that are not too agressive, good luck LOL but out of all of mine, id have to say the yel labs...but even those are not mild by any means
