My daughter needs to add some cichlids to her tank (ran with a RenaX3), so can you give me some examples of cichlids to add?
Looking for something with color and active. Like tropheus but not as fragile

Would like to add a few of them, so size might need to be under 4"
(I started another thread that sounded like donate some fish to me:ROFL:, thats why i'm starting it again with a diff title:D )
 
Hypsophrys nicaraguensis
 
"Poor man's tropheus" a.k.a. Neets are a fun species, while small they are very fesity and easy to breed.
 
i wish i had more info for you, but the only thing i know is at my lfs they often have small cichlids that stay only about 1". i dont know their names but they normaly have like 3 or 4 types. if you were to get some like them you could have quite a few in a 50gal. their would allways be something going on and they are quite colorfull. good luck in your search.
