stole the words out of my mouth... lol

yellow labs, demasoni, convicts, SA and CA dwarf cichlids (rams, apistogramma), jewels, etc

 

[FLGirl1977]

apistos.... just keep up on water changes and keep the pH lower...

 

[baby bass]

could you put in a pair of convicts

 

[DCOWBOYS]

Rams??

 

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

too small of a pair of convicts long term IMO. but a small group of neolamp. multifasciatus would be interesting

What is the footprint? Usually matters more than gallonage for cichlids.

I'd also go for some tanganyikan shell dwellers; like ocellatus, signatus, or multifaciatus. They grow less than 2" and have great personalities!!

You probably own a breeding pair of COnvcit Cichlids..........Try a pair of Brichardi.They will easily colonize themselves within a month or two..........OR------------->A dozen Dwarf Puffers.............
