Over the next week or so I will be making alot of hides/caves for twelve small aquariums. They range between 30"x15"x18* and 3'x2'x2' the exception is a 5'x2'x2'. I will also be trying to decide on pairs of smaller American/West African cichlids to spawn. Over many years of being in the hobby I have kept and bred alot of species but recently I find myself thinking of returning to where it began and giving some overdue time and care to some of the most neglected species or those commonly referred to as beginners species. The majority of these aquariums are very small so ideally I would like to keep smaller species. If anyone has some suggestions I'm all ears as there are so many to choose from. At this point I won't rule out any species regardless of water chemistry, husbandry, locality or requirements. One last thing if there is anyone with pictures of their fish or information/pictures of regional variations I would be grateful.
