If You Can Only Have 1 Cichlid

I think I would be in major trouble. There is no way I could choose one or give up the ones I have.

I have 2-oscars, jd, 4-severums, 2- convicts,2- firemouths,
2 kribs, 2-green terror There is no way I could make a decision like that.
Sorry...
 
Only one? Dang...

I'd go with a single Oscar, though my single Spilurum will be nice once I get the tank ready for him!

My personal choice, if I could only have one cichlid, would probably be a crenicichla xingu, the orange pike. I had one that I raised to about 8" total lenght. I took my time in letting it make the transition from feeder guppies to eating Jumbomin, DoroRed, and Krill. I had to give it up the same time I gave up the Calvus and Compressiceps. I came back to the petshop a couple of weeks later and they had it in a big display tank. But somethings was wrong with its mouth. It seemed like the flesh inside the mouth was tore up, almost like it was minced. I wanted to take her back so badly, but I had already gotten rid of the big tanks.

I love Cichlids but haven't really had a lot of experience with them. However I guess I would say a green severum if I had to only have one. I'm partial to them I guess since I got two of them yesturday. If not the severums probably an oscar, I've always loved those!
