favorites cichlids

[GeorgeForeman420]

Hi I need some help choosing fish and I thought some ppl might like to help. I don't like just walking in a fish store and buying a fish I like researching then searching for certain fish. I would like to hear some opinions on favorite cichlids (mbuna, hap, peacock) and maybe some specific favorites out if each group as well. I want diversity in color, attitude, basically everything. No specifics yet for the type of tank just trying to get ideas fir fish to look for. Thank you

Haps: Placidochromis sp. "Phenochilus Tanzania" and Fossorochromis rostratus
Mbuna: Labeotropheus fuelleborni and Labidochromis caeruleus
Peacock:Aulonocara ethelwynnae

Others: Gnathochromis permaxillaris, Benthochromis tricoti, and Lepidiolamprologus kendalli

Haps - Taiwan Reef (Protmelas sp.Stevini Taiwan)
Peacocks - Ngara Flametail ( Aulonacara Stuartgranti )
Mbuna - Cynotalapia Afra Cobue

Tangs - Trops ...Petros....Fronts...... ( can't go wrong with any Tangs )

Im basically doing just what you said. I did some research and shopped around and i found that peacocks were (in my opinion) the most diverse in colors and attitude easy to mix and pretty hardy. I'm almost done building my peacock set up now. :) hope this helps.

Looking through my favorites are starting to be mbuna I have some small ones more together and for me it's the way they swim and I really like purple on some. Got a red top that is coloring up beautifully. Trying to get pic tomorrow.
