red terror duh
I think the most attractive cichlid is a male Geophagus brasiliensis. The combination of shape and color is just beautiful.
I had one for years and we called him Mr. T - he was the boss, but wasn't mean.

that sure is pretty C..... never saw one before!
It's a Dwarf, and most people have no idea they exist. They co-habitate with Rams and Angels quite well. The 55 I'm building is going to have a pair in it.

It looks like a ram, in the shape...but really cool colors, nice fish
cacatoides are my faves, but there are dozens of amazing little apistos out there. Here are a few.....

I have to say, the most beautiful fish I've ever had was a female nicaraguense--the charm was not just in the unique coloring, but also in the sort of goofy appearance! They never seem to look good at the LFS, but once they're at home in a nice big tank with good food, they can be a real show stopper. Oddly, I think the female is much nicer looking than the male in this species.

(Incidently, this is not my photo, just a link to one which looks very similar to the one I had. The colors are really nicer than you see in the photo: the gold on the top tends to look brighter and more metalic than this picture shows.)

I'd say the RD, RT and of course the salvini.
I have a RD and salvini! Wish I had the space for RTs.
