what are some nice dwarfs?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Or maybe some awesome looking swordtails ... ;)
 
see i like tiger barbs to but they can be nippy and i might end up geting long fin rams or krips have longer fins so i rather not have fish known to ve nippy. sword tails could work but i like the fast swimming of the giants. maybe ill add a pair od swords or other fish.
 
IMHO I doubt tiger barbs will match up to the aggression of even the mildest of cichlids ...
 
I dunno... i had a pair of Apistogrammas sp. that were harassed and killed by two Flying Fox "algae eaters" Tiger Barbs could pick on the dwarfs...
 
daym! that sucks. I guess its a case to case basis. Perhaps I got lucky...
 
or you could go with like 3 pairs like rainbow cichlids, sajica, firemouth, cutteri, thayeri, curviceps, geophagus pelegrini, even some kribs any combination, i have a 55 with a pair of rainbows, cutteri, and even a pair of pink cons but they are pretty mild, i had then in a 29 until they were about 3" and started getting cramped

I like the danios myself use them for dithers also but the barbs as long as there in a school of seven or more will be fine they chase each other around any less and they get nippy towards rhe other fish
 
sounds good im gonna add some more fish in the next week, then in 2 or 3 weeks after that ill start adding a few pairs of cichlids. ill let you guys know how it goes, any ofther suggestions?
