Cichlid Breeding Colors!

[rich_one]

I don't have anything breeding right now (focusing on a festae project), but was wondering... which CA/SA cichlids have the most stunning breeding dress in your opinion? Post pics! Hopefully this'll be fun!

Festae female, hands down prettiest fish, perhaps of any species imho.

Agreed! Working on getting a breeding pair out of my group!

My Parachromis have always been impressive. Not when breeding just when showing off.

Hey Rich great thread, I believe the Pearsii that you have in that huge new tank is one of the prettiest fish I have ever seen.

Thanks, Pete! Those lyonsi fry are already a little bigger, man! Can't wait till they grow out!

Yeah the Lyonsii got great breeding color also but nothing like dat Pearsii
