I was thinking of getting a Marineland Crescent 5 Gallon.
I was wondering what people might think of putting a single cichlid in it.
I have some mbuna right now and their sizes range from 3-6 inches (Cynotilapia Afra, yellow lab, Acei).
I know that its behavior would not necessarily be the same as in a larger tank but the bio-load should be sustainable, if slightly turbulent, and certain cichlids can be fairly hardy. If it doesn't work out, perhaps I can move it to one of my other tanks.
I was thinking perhaps a single of any of the following (Convict, Afra, Apistogramma Cacatoides, Rock Crib, Altolamprologous Calvus, Lemon Cichlid, Brichardi, or Julidochromis).
Wondering what you might think and what type of fish might work.
