Try ssh -c blowfish :

     -c blowfish|3des|des
         Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the session.  3des is
         used by default.  It is believed to be secure.  3des (triple-des)
         is an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt triple with three different keys.
         blowfish is a fast block cipher, it appears very secure and is
         much faster than 3des.
