My favorite cichlid is the Severum. There are so many different titles and colors. I absolutely LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED this segment! It was nice to see all my favorite TH-cam channel in one spot! My second favorite cichlid is the Oscar.
I’m gonna have to say my Brilliant Turquoise Discus for the color and markings. As far as personality goes that would have to be my Red Spotted Gold Severum. Very interesting to see everyone’s choices, though I already knew John’s answer lol!
Same with Primetime aquatics, the Geophagus is really a stand out cichlid with its distinctive pattern and colorful hues! A peaceful community fish that could fit in a not so huge tank for less maintenance.
I agree with John from KGTropics, my all time favorite cichlid is definitely the oscars. They remind me of puppy dogs🐕 when they see you. I call them the water dogs.
Thank you Troy for this video. I love it when you guys get together to make a compilation video. I watch every guy you featured. I had a smilie on my face the entire time.😊
This was by far one of your best videos. You had all the fish related content creators that I follow. Each and everyone bought a great perspective but I have to agree with Jason and you. It’s a real tossup between the geophagus and the severums. Looking forward to the next collaboration like this.
Awesome video!!!!!! Loved it man. The RTM is my favorite cichlid but at the end of the day I just love the hobby man. Can’t wait to see the next video!
Great video!!! Really enjoyed watching it. Loved how all you guys collaborated together. Would love to see more videos like this. Thanks for making it.
This was a great idea, of making this video with the person's that are always posting videos and teaching us a lot of thing referring to this hobby, more if these videos should be made together, thanks.
What a great video. Gives a different perspective. I always had African cichlids. Kind of getting tired watching fins nipped. I moved from mbuna to haps. Even haps are chasing/nipping fins each other. But they are very interactive and have some character. I have decided to get a planted aquarium like Troy. Hopefully from custom aquarium. But I am doing some homework first. I am voting for all the species in Troys planted aquarium.
I just picked up an Electric Blue Acara - my first cichlid! Just so happened to find the channel from your short about good tank mates for them. Loving the content so far. My EBA is beautiful, extremely active, and seems quite intelligent. He lives with some platies, corydoras, and a bristlenose pleco in a 40g. He doesn't bother the fish except for the platy fry, which I don't mind. A few still survive, and I made my community tank all female platies after raising a few batches of fry. Waiting for them to stop having babies so I can selectively breed them again.
My 1st Choice when I started in this Hobby 52 Years ago was the Oscar. Today 52 Years Later I Would say it would be the Venustus Cichlid. These guys are so Beautiful and Personable.
Kribensis, close second is severums. It's a difficult choice because I love'm all 😁 My most long lived favourite pet though was a Texas cichlid named Genghis 😊
The humble Firemouth for me! I've got a soft spot for anything Thoricthys, but I love Firemouths. Their colours are so vibrant, they can hang out in groups without murdering each other, their display flaring is so entertaining. They also substrate sift as well, which makes them a good hard water alternative to Geos.
So many amazing cichlids out there, but one of my favorite fish of any kind is the Oscar cichlid. They have beautiful colors and patterns, and their personality and behaviors are so fascinating. The fact that they interact with you, and can be kept with many other kinds of fish is great, too.
Such a great video I had fun guessing what everyone’s favourite was and I’m glad to say that I got most of them right 🎉 keep up the great work guys 😁👍🏽
I love the amphilophus species they're so personable and you can treat them just like a dog with reaching in and petting them and they are like your best friend
Because of you guys Jason and John I am able to probably care for my fish. That being said Oscar, Uaru, leleupi, frontosa, never mind I can’t choose I have to many favorites.
I was just at a local fish store today to show my mom what Koi they have, because we are going to get a few soon. While there I showed her several other fish, but definitely pointed out the Frontosa to her. They even have a big circular display tank, with large mature cichlids in it that I do not think are for sale and they have several large Frontosa in there. I love the Frontosa, but there were several other great looking good sized African cichlids in that tank.
great, great video and my favorite cichlid of all time are the Altum angels bcuz I can imagine having a diy 500 gallons full of them with probably 200 schooling fish 👀👀👀👀💪💯
Love this video. I got to agree with the teacher, my Jack Dempsey, Titan, is my favorite cichlid. I have loved Jack Dempseys since I was introduced to them as a teenager
There are many great cichlids, so it is hard to choose a favorite. All the favorites in this video were good choices. My favorites have been African cichlids for over 40 years. I do not currently have any cichlids tanks, so I don't have a favorite at the moment, but Electric Blue Jack Dempsey's look really good.
Very interesting topic. I honestly don't think I would be able to choose just "one" favorite, I have many favorites: I love my Geophagus, my Acaricthys Heckellis, my Uaru, Severum, the Mesonauta Ignis, which I think is a very underrated cichlid. Then from Central America I love Firemouths, Vieja Argentea, Jack Dempseys... Sorry can't pick just one... Love them all! Uhh and I left Apistos out... rude of me... Crenicichlas?...
Great mash up bros! 😁💪 Gordo for the W 🤣
Gordo cannot shut his mouth he doesn’t win anything he is a mouth breather 😂
Gordo is very cool.
I Got 2 Blood Parrot Cichlids and I Love these Guy's. They hold their own in My African Cichlid Aquarium.
I love collaboration videos-so much fun! Thanks for doing that!
Love the collaboration! Great seeing some of my favorite channels in one place. 🍻
Severums for looks, geos for behaviour and Chocolate Cichlids for personality.
Wow, Troy! How did you get all these og's on your video 😂. Love it!
Thanks a million. I appreciate you so much for having me on. Who the heck chooses Oscar’s 😂😂😂😂
Thanks again, Jay!!
😆 I disagree with a lot of these choices if not all. The Oscars look too sluggish in my opinion. I wish I knew how to breed butterkoferies
I love oscars
Great video!!! Need more collabs, this is the A team in the fish community, need cory and king of diy!!
Once you said around the horn and introduced John... knew it was going to be a 🔥 video! I love the collabs!
Wow, this was amazing. Nice to see all my favorite TH-camrs all on one video. Thanks for putting this together.
Great Video! I loved that you included some of my other Favorite TH-camrs as well, Only missing Ben Ochart and possibly Cory.
Awesome format - love it! Love the red spotted Severum and electric blue acara. Apistos are beautiful too!
Very enjoyable video! I’m trying to get my first cichlid tank prepared and Blue Acara is currently at the top of my wishlist.
Blue acara are wonderful cichlids. Def on the must have list
This was one of the best videos you guys have done! Really appreciate a solid collaboration video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great segment, enjoyed it thanks !!
It was great to see you all in one video with different views, keep up the great work guys and love an OB peacock 🐠
Great video. You brought in all the hard hitters. I have four big tanks with peacocks and Hap's. But I do miss the Oscars😢
That was a great video. Lots of interesting points of view. Seems like fish hobbyists are very supportive and appreciative of each other.
LEARNED ALLOT FROM ALL OF YOU…KEEP IT UP!!!
Severum or Geophagus ! All the special guests were a great addition to the norm. Once again, great show !!!
Spot on mate!😊
My favorite cichlid is the Severum. There are so many different titles and colors. I absolutely LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED this segment! It was nice to see all my favorite TH-cam channel in one spot! My second favorite cichlid is the Oscar.
Love it. Thanks for watching!
What a great video! Very fun to watch as well as informative ❤
Wow, some amazing collabs here. I personally gotta agree with the Severum. Beautiful and peaceful.
It's definitely an Oscar for my favorite.
I’m gonna have to say my Brilliant Turquoise Discus for the color and markings. As far as personality goes that would have to be my Red Spotted Gold Severum. Very interesting to see everyone’s choices, though I already knew John’s answer lol!
Great video I'm a tossup between the Uaru and the Sevrum they are both awesome fish, but for coloration reason the Sevrum takes the win.
Same with Primetime aquatics, the Geophagus is really a stand out cichlid with its distinctive pattern and colorful hues! A peaceful community fish that could fit in a not so huge tank for less maintenance.
I agree with John from KGTropics, my all time favorite cichlid is definitely the oscars. They remind me of puppy dogs🐕 when they see you. I call them the water dogs.
Enjoyed the vid boys
Thanks man!
Shoulda had you join to back me up on the predator haps 😂
This was an awesome video! Super cool to see a lot of my favorite channels collaborate. Thanks for putting that together Cichlid Bros!
Of course, thanks for watching!
Great video. My favorite fish keepers and my favorite fish all in one place. Thanks!
Thanks, Ben! We should collab on the next one!
Thank you Troy for this video. I love it when you guys get together to make a compilation video. I watch every guy you featured. I had a smilie on my face the entire time.😊

Thanks for watching!!
Legendary Video🎉, Love the collaboration, as for me i have to go with Jaguar Cichlid ❤
I always flip flop between the Oscar and the Peacock Bass. Great collab by the way guys.

Great picks by all. Thanks for sharing.💯💗👍✌️
TH-cam fishkeeper avengers in 1 video😂 wasnt expecting this Nice great Video !!
Fishtubers… assemble
Great vid, I'm a fan of the Texas cichlid myself. I know they can be very aggressive, but I just love the colors and the personality
I currently have a 7 Black Widow Frontosa colony. They are all different & unique in their own personalities. 🐠❤️🇺🇸😎
This was by far one of your best videos. You had all the fish related content creators that I follow. Each and everyone bought a great perspective but I have to agree with Jason and you. It’s a real tossup between the geophagus and the severums. Looking forward to the next collaboration like this.
Wonderful compilation of different you tubers 😊
Great work on the video.
It's good to see so many knowledge people in the aquarium hobby work in together.
Best video! You were really only missing Ben Ochart! That’s my guy too! But great collaboration! I’m going with my Oscar as the best cichlid 💕
Very cool vid 👏 Thanks Troy ❤ 🐟 👍
Thanks, Jerry!
Awesome video!!!!!! Loved it man. The RTM is my favorite cichlid but at the end of the day I just love the hobby man. Can’t wait to see the next video!
Great video!!! Really enjoyed watching it. Loved how all you guys collaborated together. Would love to see more videos like this. Thanks for making it.
Love the guests and everyones picks! Oscars are my #1 without a doubt.
Can’t go wrong with Oscars!
The Oscar.
Next debate - which Cichlid bro has the best beard?
Lol, definitely Troy hands down
This was a great idea, of making this video with the person's that are always posting videos and teaching us a lot of thing referring to this hobby, more if these videos should be made together, thanks.

I am voting for all the species in Troys planted aquarium.
Awesome collab! 👌🏼🐟
👊🏻👊🏻
Great video♥️
Nice colab id have to say for me its a toss up between either my shell dwellers or my monster 16" dovi. But in their own way they are all great

Absolutely love this collab, with so many of my favorite fish TH-camrs. My all time fave is the Jack Dempsey, but My Oscar (Isaac) is a close second.
Awesome!
Great collaboration! Well done!
Thank you!
Great video. I have watched all these people. You all are so cool!
Appreciate that!
My 1st Choice when I started in this Hobby 52 Years ago was the Oscar. Today 52 Years Later I Would say it would be the Venustus Cichlid. These guys are so Beautiful and Personable.
I knew John's favorite would be the Oscar😂
Absolutely love discus fish.
My favorite African cichlid is the colbolt blue
I knew John’s favorite😃, mine too! I love this video. Beautiful!!❤
Haha saw it coming too!
What a epic video to have All the big names in this one ❤
Kribensis, close second is severums. It's a difficult choice because I love'm all 😁
My most long lived favourite pet though was a Texas cichlid named Genghis 😊
Jewel cichlids are cool too & despite the reputation can be kept & bred in a community tank 😉
Great vid!
Thanks man!! 👊🏻👊🏻
The humble Firemouth for me! I've got a soft spot for anything Thoricthys, but I love Firemouths. Their colours are so vibrant, they can hang out in groups without murdering each other, their display flaring is so entertaining.

Love that explanation. Great choice!
The mash up goes crazy 🔥🔥
💪🏼💪🏼
That was fun to listen to all the different opinions I am a huge fan of the Jack Dempsey! There so pretty!!
Oscar easily. Nothing is a better.
I think it’s the oscar, Frontosa, or the false green terror
One of the collaborations we all needed! My top 3 would be 1. Severum 2. Electric Blue Acara and 3. Oscar.
Love the list!
Nice to see other TH-camrs that I watch share their favorite cichlids! 😊
So many amazing cichlids out there, but one of my favorite fish of any kind is the Oscar cichlid. They have beautiful colors and patterns, and their personality and behaviors are so fascinating. The fact that they interact with you, and can be kept with many other kinds of fish is great, too.
They;re amazing cichlids!
and waste a lot :X
Awesome video! Do more like this
Thank you! I must be old school...the frontosa cichlid is still my favorite, second runner up would be the blue carpentis
Nothing wrong with old school!
Such a great video I had fun guessing what everyone’s favourite was and I’m glad to say that I got most of them right 🎉 keep up the great work guys 😁👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
1. Electric Blue Acara⚡️🐟
2. Yellow Lab 🦮
3. Jack Dempsey 🥊
4. Chocolate🍫
5. Oscars / Geos / Severums
Not a bad list!
Great video and choices! Zebra Obliquidens for me. Specifically, my boy, Zeke
Great pick!
I love the amphilophus species they're so personable and you can treat them just like a dog with reaching in and petting them and they are like your best friend
Because of you guys Jason and John I am able to probably care for my fish. That being said Oscar, Uaru, leleupi, frontosa, never mind I can’t choose I have to many favorites.
Love to hear it!

I love the Frontosa, but there were several other great looking good sized African cichlids in that tank.
I’m going to totally agree with Alec. I just ordered a Malawi Hawk. Can’t wait it’s coming tomorrow 🎉
That’s awesome!
Gotta agree with John the Oscar is my number 1
great, great video and my favorite cichlid of all time are the Altum angels bcuz I can imagine having a diy 500 gallons full of them with probably 200 schooling fish 👀👀👀👀💪💯
Would be awesome!
I like Green Terror and Flowerhorn and Oscar and red devil
Love this video. I got to agree with the teacher, my Jack Dempsey, Titan, is my favorite cichlid. I have loved Jack Dempseys since I was introduced to them as a teenager
There are many great cichlids, so it is hard to choose a favorite. All the favorites in this video were good choices. My favorites have been African cichlids for over 40 years. I do not currently have any cichlids tanks, so I don't have a favorite at the moment, but Electric Blue Jack Dempsey's look really good.
Good choice!
Vieja is the best looking fish I have 6 of them
Very interesting topic. I honestly don't think I would be able to choose just "one" favorite, I have many favorites: I love my Geophagus, my Acaricthys Heckellis, my Uaru, Severum, the Mesonauta Ignis, which I think is a very underrated cichlid. Then from Central America I love Firemouths, Vieja Argentea, Jack Dempseys... Sorry can't pick just one... Love them all! Uhh and I left Apistos out... rude of me... Crenicichlas?...
Oscar is the best fish my second favorite is the jack Dempsey
Loved all the comments great video
All my favorite fish tubers in one place. My favorite would have to be a jack Dempsey or a Freddy
Good afternoon guys is 79 f good temperature for my African cichlid aquarium
Yep!
Great Sesion !! I'd go with an oscar and a pair of super red severums in a 125 gallon.
I just watched a fish keeping All-Star game
! I'm rolling with my Electric Blue Acaras
Can’t go wrong there!
Knew Jason's favorite would be the Geo 😎👍
I love each and everyone of the choices I don’t know which is my favorite yet thanks for sharing you guys
Thanks for watching!
@@CichlidBros I now have three African cichlids but don’t know what kind are they if I send you a picture can you tell me which kind are they
