TimB Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hello everyone! , I know that a lot of you keep a lot of different cichlids and I think it would be nice for everyone to share their favourite cichlid, so we can see which fish are most popular and well-liked in the hobby. Now, I mean every type of cichlid, no restrictions. I personally have quite a few favs, among those are firemouths, Tropheus duboisi 'Maswa", crimson tides, fronts, fuelleborni and blue dolphins. I could sit here for hours on end going on and on and on..... All replies welcome,Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
