    I agree with John from KGTropics, my all time favorite cichlid is definitely the oscars. They remind me of puppy dogs🐕 when they see you. I call them the water dogs.

    I’m gonna have to say my Brilliant Turquoise Discus for the color and markings. As far as personality goes that would have to be my Red Spotted Gold Severum. Very interesting to see everyone’s choices, though I already knew John’s answer lol!

    @achilles_heel07 Рік тому +8

    Same with Primetime aquatics, the Geophagus is really a stand out cichlid with its distinctive pattern and colorful hues! A peaceful community fish that could fit in a not so huge tank for less maintenance.

    What a great video. Gives a different perspective. I always had African cichlids. Kind of getting tired watching fins nipped. I moved from mbuna to haps. Even haps are chasing/nipping fins each other. But they are very interactive and have some character.
    I have decided to get a planted aquarium like Troy. Hopefully from custom aquarium. But I am doing some homework first.
    I am voting for all the species in Troys planted aquarium.

    There are many great cichlids, so it is hard to choose a favorite. All the favorites in this video were good choices. My favorites have been African cichlids for over 40 years. I do not currently have any cichlids tanks, so I don't have a favorite at the moment, but Electric Blue Jack Dempsey's look really good.

    This was by far one of your best videos. You had all the fish related content creators that I follow. Each and everyone bought a great perspective but I have to agree with Jason and you. It’s a real tossup between the geophagus and the severums. Looking forward to the next collaboration like this.

    i love angels because of they way they swim, it is relaxing to watch the way they glide through the water.
    I also severum because they look like a discus and the discus is too tempermental then the severum
