What do you think the most beautifully colored south American cichlid is?

I am partial to Rivulatus.

This little male(approx 4-5") is one I bred from two unrelated parents. Dad was white seamed, mom was orange seamed. Hoping to breed him with a nice female in the future.

But if I had to pick one and only one, based on beauty, it would be a FEMALE FESTAE in spawning dress. hands down (not my fish, kudos to keeper)
