My favs would have to be Cyathopharynx foai @ Halembe of Lake Tang.
See for yourself

Cyathopharynx foai @ Halembe


The whole Cyathopharynx genus is beautiful and anyone who has seen the NG program Jewel of the Rift knows what im talking about. I've only owned Cyathopharynx foai @ Sibwesa and these Male cichlids are outstanding but will take all the sand in your tank and make a volcano looking nest that will even reach close to te water line.

Cyathopharynx foai @ Sibwesa


Cyathopharynx foai @ Kafungi


Cyathopharynx foai @ Kala
