What is the greatest attraction for keeping African cichlids? Is it the color or the behavior, or both? Reason I ask is I've never taken a shine to Africans. Kept them before, and almost everything else at one time or another, but that is one specialized area of FW I never really got into.

Looks great! When I did cichlids the comprisseps was my favorite. It's tough to get how colorful they are on camera but yours looks great. Dave - I like cichlids because they are colorful and their behavior is unique. Two will kill eachother but a larger group will prevent any one fish getting picked on too much. I had a breeding pair of yellow labidichromis and their character and color rival most saltwater fish.
