rate that cichlid

[kaianuanu]

i got the idea to start a thread were we rate different cichlid species' on a scale of 1-10 on 3 subjects: aggression(not only to other cichlids but to prey), curiosity/personality(are they attrated to people do they follow your hand on the glass?), looks. the i want judged personally are: jagur cichlids, oscars, flowerhorns, green terrors, and JD's.

My jag is probably an

8 on personality
10 on aggression towards prey
4 on aggression towards other cichlids

My old oscar-

10 on personality
0 towards prey (didnt even eat my serpae tetras)

0 on going after other cichlids

does he recognize you as a food source, and does he like to chase your hand when you put it up to his tank?

As soon as i walk into the room she swims up to the glass to greet me. She will follow me everywhere i go in the room and will follow my hand all around the tank, but not in an aggressive manner like my Dovii does. She just seems very curious in what i'm doing.

So I will rate my Jardini arowana...lol

Jardini
curiosity/personality 5 - he is just a baby only 9 inches
prey drive/aggression 10 - OMG can I do 11...lol

other times he ignores them.
