One of the most famous tank cichlids other than an Oscar is Known as a Red Devil, but really a Red Devil cichlid is usually a Hybrid, the non hybrid version is known as a Midas Cichlid or A. citrinellus

The largest of the amphiliphous is called the Chancho Cichlid and these guys are big, not as big as a Dovii or Umbee but still very big and robust.

While these guys don't possess the equipment that the parachromis genus does they make up for it with attitude. They will usually dominate tanks of equal sized fish and can even play a "status quo" role, they'll usually keep everyone else in line. They are almost "hyena like" with their short spines and blunt front feature, like a battering ram. Reply
