Thinking of setting up a small aquarium with a pair of dwarf cichlids.

What is a species that is typically hardy and will tolerate, otos, tetras or cories?

Apistos or Bolivian Rams

This sounds like an interesting idea...might try it with my 30 gal. Sorry, no input but I'll be staying tuned

If you can find them, ivanacara adoketa are an awesome little dwarf acara. Both male and female get some really cool markings. IME, they are way more outgoing than most dwarf cichlids.

I'm a big fan of apisto's, you should try out something simliar to this, it look awesome! (Not my pictures by the way)

keyholes are mellow and very sturdy

I agree with the suggestion about Apistos, they are very nice fish. Might as well try some Mikrogeophagus.

Mikrogeophagus aren't really noted for their "hardiness", so that's not where I would look first ... maybe one of the laetacara species, like l. curviceps ...

depending on how small is "small", you could also considser the Rainbow cichlid, h. multispinosa ... not exactly a dwarf, but is small, hardy and peaceful ...

apistos/rams!!

Seeing as you're posting in the CA/SA section i assume you don't want shell dwellers, so i'd agree with the majority here saying apistos and rams...
