	what was your 1st
clownfish_rule Fingerling Posts: 25 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jun-2004	My first cichlids were Blood Parrots. (If you will allow me to post them as "cichlids", since both of the parents are in the cichlid family) I still have the original pair plus 4 others. I love these guys. So much personality and so graceful in the water. Mine, although I have heard a completely different story of others, are very docile and peaceful fish. Oscars come in a close second, though!
