Our Top 20 Favorite Cichlids!

[@drewsta005]

Jacks are my all time #1 cichlid of all time. I had a super aggressive 10” male I had to keep solo, but have had a super chill female several years later. Either way their coloration is top notch. Great list guys! Keep up the great content

[@carlcummings767]

I love that Central American tank, really works well. The Yellowjacket is Badass! Yes, Dovii's are great.

[@Essayons89]

Great list! Enjoyed seeing all of those beautiful fish and tanks. I've kept a few fish on this list: Discus, Angels, an Oscar, and Severum. I also had a few different Lake Tanganyika species. I think one of my favorite cichlids is the small but colorful Bolivian Ram.

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! I just got Bolivian rams again last week. Looking forward to them!

[@Danilyn_Livao]

Your passion for cichlids really shines through!💙 Loved learning about these beautiful species. I'm Excited to see what you’ll share next!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching!

[@Danilyn_Livao]

​@@CichlidBros You're welcome! I'm looking forward to more of your awesome contents! 🙌

[@maryglover8283]

Such a gorgeous collection! Love them all but the Tiger Oscar steals my heart every time !🩷

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you, Mary!

[@ashleighbowen1128]

I love the list! Agree with almost all of them, but nothing can beat the Severum in my eyes 😆

[@CichlidBros]

Hard to beat the severum!

[@michaelellerbe1434]

Great list yall! Enjoying everything yall are doing and glad to see all three of you again in a video!💪

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks Mike! Likewise!

[@jaymilo8425]

I'd have found a way to include the Texas, and Starry night chiclids...but very cool list

[@CichlidBros]

Those are both awesome fish!

[@Tanganyikan.dreamtank]

You guys need to get a lake Tanganyika set up with some nice Frontosa! Would love to see it on your channel.

[@CichlidBros]

Might be happening soon!

[@DjPosey3]

What a great list of all beautiful cichlids! with so many beautiful cich i can see why you guys would be arguing over the placements lol.. Keep the cool videos coming bros

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching!

[@mel_boogie23]

Great video, like always. I would have thought EBA top 3 and severum number one, lol. Can't disagree with the top 5 though!

[@SlimTim_dirty_aquatics]

Fired Up Top 20 list. I currently have few these listed.

[@CichlidBros]

Awesome! 👏🏼

[@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies]

A wonderful line up ❤ . The yellow jacket 💛💛

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@MrMinaroo]

Love the list agree with most but I LOVE my super green texas great personality and colour that always catches my eye My texas is in with Oscar, electric blue, Veja and jack Dempsey.

[@DouglasHagstrom]

The videos are coming out fast and furious lately! I was surprised to see where the EBA landed on the list, thinking you would have had it higher. But then seeing what you had above it...makes sense. They all can't be in the top 5.

[@CichlidBros]

Yeah it was definitely hard to choose up at the top especially. My geo sveni has crept up the list this year!

[@DouglasHagstrom]

@@CichlidBros Sveni would definitely make my top 3!

[@ChrisJohnson-ed9bg]

I love my Malawi hawk in my 220 very beautiful fish also my other favorite in my 220 is my starry night

[@CichlidBros]

Very nice!

[@edwardchristian9529]

Idk which i would replace on the top 20 but the True Parott fish needs to be there. Such a beautiful fish

[@sandyloyst1811]

Great list Guys! My thoughts are all about which one of the brother's is getting that wolf fish! I like the black nasty and the yellow jacket. But really all of them are amazing and the tanks so nice. Super work by all three. Peace.

[@CichlidBros]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@1971mav]

Have never cared for angelfish or discus. Nice fish on that list. But I'd take a jewel or firemouth over some of those.

[@melwingun]

Nice list. A bit disappointed about not seeing flowerhorns and jaguars though😢

[@CichlidBros]

Flowerhorns were a tough one to leave off. Quinn and Troy are both planning to get one soon, and could definitely climb onto the list fast

[@opethmike]

I love single fish in large tanks too. I have a huge female flowerhorn solo in a 180.

[@xXTheSoulJaXx]

I agree with the list apart from the jack Dempsey! Wouldn't make my top 50 lol

[@arturskupcus4618]

Glad my center peace fish is NR 1 on your list. Shame that firemouth wasn't mentioned

[@CichlidBros]

Very nice. And it was tough to leave off for sure

[@arturskupcus4618]

@CichlidBros would it be near your top 20? I'm new to keeping American cichlids. And at the minute I've jack Dempsey, firemouth, convict, electric blue acara and rainbow cichlid

[@zlp_aquatics]

What are your thoughts on the Electric Blue Jack Dempsey in comparison to the traditional Jack Dempsey

[@richardgiacomotti404]

👍👍👍

[@dogglet1234]

i have the panda uaru. can they be kept with the normal uaru?

[@javieltaino]

Umbee!!! Lol

[@siennaalaniz866]

What do you think of a 75 gallon having a Jack Dempsey, 2 blood parrots, and 2 electric blue acaras? Would that be too crowded?

[@pietrorosafauzza5005]

do you know if there is any type of geophagus that go well whit aggressive cichlid like green terror or jack dempsey?

[@CichlidBros]

Most geos would likely work. Brasiliensis or steindachneri would be my suggestions

[@yannickfuster8498]

Hello, How many séverum cichlid in my 1000 liters tank please ? Nice job !!

[@opethmike]

Alright; cichlid? EBA, imo

[@NarrateNexus]

I missed midas, flowerhorn and menarambo cichlids😊

[@vijaykumaresan2762]

I request.add to Dovie cichlids ❤

[@girishg6449]

What about flower horn, dolphin, frontosa. I think these cichlids should be in the list

[@CichlidBros]

Great cichlids, but not in the top 20 at the moment

[@samiam159007]

You know, I think I could have gotten really close to guessing you all's top 20. Would have been cool if you would have presented this as a contest first and gave out some prizes. 😅

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

the most amazing thing is ..... i hate cichlids but i keep you guys .... i'm a fish lover but i don't like cichlids ..... just because most of them are aggressive

[@welder9163]

I'm sure you guys just simply forgot about the Red Jewel Cichlid!! Lol. Red Jewels are hard to find with a bright red color. I don't recall any of you brothers having a Red Jewel Cichlid?

[@hypertistic4363]

Hi there cichlidbros, I have a question if I should buy an Oscar for my aquarium. I have a 150 and only have 2 silver dollar and a couple of tigerbarbs. I really want an Oscar but am wondering if it will get way too big for the 150.

[@beat_2008]

is there a way to determine male and female peacock cichlid (besides genital check) as I want to try breeding them

[@nicholasmartinez8204]

I got rid of my electric blue acara. It killed my pleco, my threadfin Acara and like 2 other fish. They were all the same size.

[@CichlidBros]

Never had an issue with aggression. What size tank?

[@UmarKhan-sq6zo]

Damn! Must be a aggressive one. All my EBA are in community tanks 😂 Even with Guppies to keep the colony in check

[@nicholasmartinez8204]

@@CichlidBros it was a 55gal. Light stocking and plenty of decor.

[@nicholasmartinez8204]

@UmarKhan-sq6zo lol dang. I remember everytime he got angry at another fish his top of the head would change colors and next time sure enough it was dead when I got back home from work.

[@kkc6396]

my female red zebra is getting the **** beat out of her by my male (i think) kenyi , there my only 2 fish i am trying time out and added more rocks n caves but this is not working, i had them for 5 weeks now i suppose i have only 1 option , if anybody has a better option i can take then HELP! i dont wanna have to dispatch this kenyi!

[@opethmike]

Somebody gotta teach convicts about condoms

[@Andre-lw2zo]

No frontosa???? Smh

[@robertwinkler8444]

Not my type of fish at all

[@CichlidBros]

Yeah you comment that all the time. So why watch?

[@loneshark74.29]

Then go watch another video?? Dumbass.
