African cichlids have always been my favorite type of fish.

African cichlids have always been my favorite type of fish.

Which species and why?

[ironspider]

Demasoni for their brilliant colors, crisp patterns and feisty behavior.

I second Demasoni for the exact reasons.

I know they are not Cichlids but I love Clown Loaches. Because of what their name implies they really are clowns. Great fish.

I like all the different kinds of Aulonocara also. The colors are awesome!! People always ask me, are those salt water fish?

Elongatus Chewere, just an absolute stunning male fish
This fish is what got me into the hobby, my tanks not big enough to have these unfortunately - but maybe one day

Fish I currently have I'd say Jalo Reef male, my tank boss - again gorgeous colours and is coloured up 95 percent of the time

Shifty..
