Cichlids that can be kept in community tank? - Aquarium Advice

newhobbist · 05-19-2005, 01:16 AM

What kind of cichlids, in addition to Rams, can be kept in a tropical community tank? I've heard that Kribensis would be suitable. Is that right?

keyhole, angels, bolverian, etc.

Festivums, Apistorammas... the list is long and varied.

severums, are good too. provided your tank is big enough for an 8 inch fish.

Kribs are fine for a community tank as long as there arent to many bottom dwellers and the kribs have hiding holes or caves. If you get a mating pair look out as they will breed and often. None of the [acronym:95917ed878="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:95917ed878] near me would take the young.
