Yeah the Dempsey has only been with me about a month, im sure the fish cant be more than 3 month of age total, im doing a growth journal on him  How much do the super reds go for over there? I got mine for the equivalent of  about $5 he was 2" in length now nearing 4". I keep mine in a planted tank, I found out his favorite plant to eat was cabomba so I bought a whole lot he eats a good amount of it but its too plentiful and grows too fast for him to eat it all

The last one i saw was a 4" for 50$

hmmm good topic
 
1. Severum - no question, my Lilly is a Heros Severus (mouthbrooder) and must be coming upto 11 years old now!!
2. Geophaugs & Acaricthys - had quite a few before but lost a lot a while ago I had a big group of 4 Geophagus Winemilleri and they were incredible! 8 inch fish and stunning. I still have my Threadfin who is about 5
3. Laetacara Thayeri - one of my dream fish that I am about to get a small group of this weekend, very excited!
4. Biotodoma Cupido - or Wavereni or the rumored third species. I have a group of 6 young Cupids about 5 months old now I think growing well
5. Veija Maculicauda - Black Belt - if I were to ever have a wet pet this would be it, for obvious reasons they wont go in my tank

Nice try but those aren't cichlids 

Cool fish nonetheless.
My Top 5 would have to be:
1. Ellioti Cichlid,  they're like firemouths infused with a rainbow
2. Rams, I've just had so many and they are just so full of personality (and of course they are gorgeous) 
3. Jewel Cichlid (those deep red ones are just:

)
4. Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi (Southern Egyptian Mouthbrooder) although I have yet to find someone selling them 

 
5.  Geophagus sp. "Araguaia Orange Head"  (Males are just incredible......INCREDIBLE)
