dwarf cichlids include, blue rams, bolivian rams, apistos, kribensis, curviceps, shell dwellers (smallest)....dwarfs basically is just cichlids that stay small 2-3" n average.

if you limit it to just Rift Lake cichlids, it pretty much limits you to shelldwellers, which are awesome!

Altolamprologus Sumbu Dwarf - not shell dweller, still dwarf (Tanganyikan Lamprologine)

Racegirl, out of interest, what cichlids do you have? Is your question limited to African Rift Lake cichlids only?

Considered a shell dweller from what I know.
