Thanks guys. I just watched my baby Oscar grow over the past 6 months. He just graduated to a 55 all by himself. Great content. 🌟🌟

Green Terrors will always be #1 for me. Great video. Thanks (as always).

Discus are my dream. I am currently saving to special order 6 of my favorite discus variants. I knew I had to have them the first time I ever saw a photo of one. I don’t know what it is about them, but they’re glorious and unmatched. Everything about them I adore. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on a big, beautiful shoal of them. My life will then be complete 🥰❤️

I enjoyed this vid as I do all of them. I’m a Cichlid sister, and I can give thanks to my teacher, who many decades ago, introduced them to me, by having a tank in the classroom. You guys hold a special place in my ❤️ because of how I was introduced to the hobby. It’s no telling who you are influencing. ❤️❤️

I accidentally ended up with a green terror only tank. They range from 2-5 inches. They're awesome, very kool to watch and they wear the most amazing war paint lol

Another enjoyable video - thx Cichlid Bros! The Lemon Oscar is my favorite with the True Parrot Cichlid being a very close second.

[carlosseptiencuevas]

Cool list everyone has favorites mine are frontosa, angels, discus, bollvian ram, vieja, and acaras!

[mitchellportee]

I totally agree with the Green Terror being #1 . I have a pair that's spawned for me four time and they are amazing. Also have EBA and Silvani that I got from watching your videos. Had them for about two years now and truly enjoy them. Only cichlid I will never own again are convicts.

My fav is the Jaguar cichlid (Managuense). I love their color & their behavior.

[emeraldsapphire]

Any top 10 favorites or recommendations list for 2022.. im trying to binge watch your playlists.. 😅

[SevShazam]

Convict cichlids are by far my favorite. Especially Polar Blue Convicts.

[frankviera]

Wao! Great video, Great selection, those Geophagus Tapajos are awesome!!!
And the Gold Saum, spectacular!!!

[johnkeenan]

My favorite has to be the Firemouth. The intense red coloration and they're gill flaring among the other fishes makes them so unique.

[bunnyviperaquatics]

Nothing beats the EBA for beauty- but the attitude!! I love how the Eyebiter is a “Fish that will really catch your eye”-🤣🤣🤣 I also love my Geo Winemilleri, Balzanii, Severums- & I’d love a Panda Uaru! Sooo, hard pressed to pick a favorite!

[yolandawilliams]

I absolutely love the electric blue acara💙🐟🐠

[tomw]

Great video, love your channel.
I bought a 125 gallon specifically to have a JD. I also got a few severums and I have to admit they really grew on me. So much so I bought a few more to make it 4 total. Great personalities, and I literally have to push them out of my way when I clean their tank.
Big Red is my favorite fish of yours, he's a good looking fish!

[lupedeleon]

Those were all beautiful but my favorite one is the 1 you started off with The electric blue akara

[tristanpyrtle]

Love it brother . Just got into cichlids with 6 angelfish hope it goes well and I can transition into more cichlids .. but my favorite would have to be the peacock bass 🖤

[lucxl.]

I kept lake Malawai cichlids as a kid. Flowerhorns (or “Luo Han”, in Mandarin) were all the rage as a fish that symbolises luck, and I had NO IDEA until now that they were cichlids. In Asia, Flowerhorns are advertised and discussed quite differently and separately from the other cichlids.

[darrellburks]

Awesome Video my favorite 2 Cichlids are Jack Dempseys and Convicts.
