Hi guys, Dr.B

i really stay more in the polypterus section cause that is what i am a specialist in lol. but i do know a bit about everything. but i am trying to look for some small cichlids to breed in my 20 gallon. depending on what it is i can set up maybe a 5 gallon or something for them to not grow out but be safe. I do understand that the easier it is to breed the more common and less you'll get for it blah blah blah. but i don't however want somethign that i will have to devote all my time to because of my academics. i will be able to give them really what ever they need but i can't have something i have to watch after all day because of once again academics. i will however be able to provide extremely well care when i am home and i will do the best i can. I have been looking at a pair of agassizii fire red. fore i have heard that small fry sell ok. but if you guys have better suggestions try and hook me up.

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely
Dr.B:D

Oh wow this kinda works out pretty awesome cause i am planning on getting some rams in my 75 along with some other cichlids so i could have a colony and then choose the best male and female. how much do the fry go for?
 
Um unless u go with electric blue I'd say fry average about 5$ a fish if you go electric blue they go for like 15-20$ a pop

kk thanks any more ideas lol. just to keep an open mind?
 
You can try apistogrammas or kribensis. Kribs would be the easier/more common ones.

what kinds of apistagrammas sell pretty good for i'd say 1 inch fry. i was thinking about some i think it's agrasizzi fire red? and second opinions on this or would electric blue rams be better? cause i would like something with a bit of a challenge at the same time i can't keep them all. if i could i would but life has tough decisions lol. so i thought that i could make a little money to support the hobby. but i don't want something really time worthy i want something nice. doesn't mean i'm going to disregard it i just can't be dealing with them 24/7.
