Cichlid for 30 gallon

[livebearerfreak]

Your going to get a million different answers to that question. But the general rule of thumb is 1inch of fish per gallon but there are a lot of variables to consider like filtration. I will tell you the bigger the tank the more stable your water parameters "can be" for example ammonia will spike faster in a 30 then it will in a 120. basically you have a larger "margin for error" sort of.

actually the *1 inch of fish per gallon* rule does not exist, its a myth... thats saying you can put a 12 inch oscar in a 12 gallon ( eclipes ) so dont follow that rule, but in the other side of the divider you could do a pair of firemouth, would look sweet IMO

I think I'm going to go with the firemouth pair. Are there any others that I can keep a breeding pair of in 30 gallons?

I think there are some rams that stay kind of small your just going to have to search profiles on any you are interested in.

I'm selling my kribensis cichlids and someone offered 6 orange Africans for a straight trade. Would they work on the other side? He says they are currently 1 inch

Heck no...

Ok. I'm going to go the easiest cheapest route. With either a firemouth pair or convict pair. If this was your tank which would you chose?
