    Some pretty awesome looking fish in those tanks:) I am thrilled to say that I just got an email from Imperial Tropicals (per your suggestion) and I was able to order one Geophagus Tapajos as my centerpiece fish for my 75 gallon....I am so excited!!! I am glad it is little as my quarantine tank is only a 10 gallon:)

    Metriaclima estherae red zebra mbunas dragonblood peacocks are 2 Species that I breed. But one of my all time favorite African cichlids from lake Malawi is the auratus probly one of the most aggressive ones. But they are gorgeous. Great list guys, happy cichlid keeping🙂👍🏻

    African keeper here with a healthy appreciation for SA/CA cichlids. I really love the predator haps and will one day have a tank of them, but the so-called "common" haps are where it's at! Still got a few Peas (why was the OB not on this list), but the haps became my mainstay.

  • @richardcolligon4277

    I've kept and loved all kind's of fish, but African cichlids are the most beautiful of freshwater fish. Lake Malawi is probably my favorite lake, unfortunately right now I'm into cold water native fish. As soon as my lottery money comes in, I'm going to build a home the size of the Georgia Aquarium. I'll just sleep in a closet. ( Lol )

    I think you're exaggerating the compressiceps as an eye biter. People wouldn't be buying a fish that is going to blind their other fish that are worth over 1,000 dollars
