I have many African cichlids, and it is very hard to pick a favorite.  Also there are some that I still have vet to figure out what they are.  Either way, here are some of what I have.

Pseudotropheus Pindani
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=919

Labeotropheus fuelleborni (has to be one of the favorites)
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=2302

Labeotropheus trewavasae 
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=710

Melanochromis johannii 
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=760

Yellow Tail Acei
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1460

This is some of what I have in my main tank, I also have a few peacocks in there, but not to sure what types they are.  I really like the Labeotropheus fuelleborni that I have, they are distinguishable by their fleshy snouts, looks like a over bite.  I have video of my tank, if you'd like to see it there is a link below.

I don't have just one favorite...

Cyphotilapia Frontosa and Altolamprologus Black Calvus have got to be on the list though. 

As well as any of the Mbuna from lake Milawi.

parrot, jellybeans are DYED fish, and I personally are against DYED fish. Sedating a fish and tatooing it just to put a design on it, like the american flag or hearts.

But I like:

convicts
jack dempseys
oscars
bolivian rams
