I like pike cichlids alot. The jaguar cichlid is probably one of my favorites even though i dont have tank big enough to house one. Also Peacock bass are by far my favorite, but they dont look like the typical cichlid, and they get HUGE!
well they kinda are but it depends on your geogrophy skills
the green terror kicks ass its lovely, but my favorite south american cichlid has to be
THE EMERALD CICHLID.
they are as intelegant as oscars and twice the colopurs being an unusualgreena and red with bright orange/red eyes. mine grows like a monster and has twice the appetite of my oscars
