First was a pair of kribs.

I now have them, German rams, and an angel...like them all for different reasons.

I think cichlids in general have pretty cool personalities

I haven't owned any yet, but I can guarantee when I set up a Cichlid tank, it will be all Electric Yellow Labs.

My first was a blue acara as well. I had to give him away when I moved though.

Its hard to pick a favorite though since there are so many awesome species to choose from. Apistos and Mbuna are probably my favorite groups though.

First was a convict and firemouth that I bought at the same time.

Favorite is a toss up between A. festae and A. robertsoni. There are several Thorichthys species moving up my list as well though.

1st cichlid was a festivum. He has really mellowed with age...the stripes don't come out much anymore unless he's challenged. My current fav is my angels since this is my latest cichlid venture...
