Dwarf Cichlids!

This has been my experience as well. Females seem way feistier than males ime.

Especially when they're fighting over a mate!

I wish I always had a camera ready, I keep multiple pairs together and I've had two pairs duel with each other at the same time, male against male and female against female. No damage done just trying to make the other pair back down. Funny sight.

Btw I've got more apistogramma cacatuoides fry, hopefully they don't eat them. I'm getting fry every two weeks!!

May setup a 10g for apistos once the 20 is done. How much is it to ship fry?

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Don't know I've never shipped them. I can let you know when they are a little bigger.

Ok thanks

I just found them so they can't be more than a day free swimming

I'm so excited to get some more rams in January! Thinking about upgrading my tank (25g) so I would looove to keep more species!

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Dwarfs are the best!! I too would like to get some more, but moneys been tight and my local guy is moving so he won't be getting anything in for a while

 

[Scottyhorse]

I would probably get a 55g or a 75g.

I think a custom dwarf tank would be cool. Something like 4 feet wide and only 10 inches deep and 13 or so high would make a cool unique tank IMO. Keep a few breeding pairs in there.

 

[Scottyhorse]

That would be really neat. If I get a 55 or 75 I would do an Amazon bio-tope with a few pairs of dwarf cichlids, maybe discus.. Tetras, cory cats, my dream tank pretty much

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Mines similar except make it a 125, a colony of smaller geophagus, a bunch of apistos, and a big school of tetras.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Pictures?

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

It's a dream tank, I have the 125 with the stand but no room to setup right now.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Ah, I gotcha I really hope I can get a 55 next summer, i've never had a tank that big! It would be so cool!

The Mr. Aqua 12 long is 36" wide. Rimless too!
