Top 10 Favorite Central American Cichlids

Our Top 10 favorite Central American cichlids! We have a wide variety of cichlids, from African to American cichlids, and in today's video, we compiled a list of our current favorite Central American cichlids.

We love all of our fish that we keep, but some definitely standout due to their color or personalities. This list is ever-changing, but we think this is a solid top 10!

my fav central American is the jack Dempsey. truly an amazing cichlid

[FishDad]

My favorite is Parachromis Dovii. I keep a pair in my acrylic 180. Most intelligent cichlid I have ever kept. Only for hardcore fish keepers, hyper aggressive and need large tanks.

The Jaguar Cichlid is my favorite and it’s what got me into the hobby. I have one with an arowana. It was literally the only fish I could find that was compatible because of the aggression levels. Truly an awesome fish! Love the videos bros

My favourite central is Cryptoheros sajica so often overlooked but grow into stunning adults with a semi aggressive nature

Thanks to you and your brothers' videos I am picking up my first Jack Dempsey from the fish store. 😁

Several of the juveniles they have just started coloring and look like Quinn's late fish, Jack.

The Maskaheros Argentea (Silver Cichlid or Maskaheros Vieja) is at the top of my bucket list fish. Ever since I saw one a Prime Time Aquatics video, it's the reason I started the list.

Excellent list...I have owned every one on your list but the Yellow Jacket (never heard of it before but it looks like an awesome fish)...my absolute favorite was the dovii, red devil and the butterikoferi from Africa...all mean little bastards

[k-makesomething]

The Jack Dempsey is on my bucket list--the colours are just amazing

[lifewithmike]

red tiger motaguense is my favorite right now! I just got into these fish and they just i don’t know won me over. Would love to see you guys get into them!

I love this video. I have a Convict juvenile and a firemouth cichlid in my 90 gal South American cichlid tank. All the cichlids seem so beautiful. All of my fish are juvenile but I can't wait to see all there growth and personality when they get adult size. Not sure how long that takes but they are still pretty to watch swim around. Appreciate the video. I may want to add a blue acara but my favorite fish in my tank right now is my turquoise Severum. He is getting big and has a cool personality,

[sheilabruin-blake]

Yes they are beautiful love the colors

[wmfay]

My favorite- Trimac Cichlid. I have a pair in a 180 truly a beast pound for pound.

[trimblini]

I had a pair of jaguars for years and they are by far my favorite on your list

[themusketeer]
