Thanks for your advice but I was just trying to let him know about which of my fish are social...

Get a jack Dempsey!!! I love mine like people love their dogs. Male or female, it'll be gorgeous. Mine isn't overly aggressive, although some people say they are. Personally I haven't had trouble with that, and she's my favorite in the tank. I think it would go well with your current stock too...

My male victorian fire hap and my vieja are very social!!!

Smallest; 40 if u want it to be fun

I mix SA/african cichlids, and I have for quite a few years but it definitely isn't something I recommend to a beginner. It can be done but only if you know what kind will be most tolerant and the specific individual needs of every fish; even then, it's a gamble!!! I suggest you start out with...

That was suggested to me before!!! Definitely a strong possibility :) thanks for your input!

The dwarfs are super cute and really fun to watch, plus you can get a little rainbow/red tail shark for the bottom. Gourami are good fish, and definitely not boring like mollies or guppies (no...

You should definitely look into dwarf gourami though. Very fun, and just as beautiful as cichlids :)

Ten gallons really isn't big enough to keep more than one cichlid in because there isn't enough room for territory. It would probably be destructive. If you plan on getting a bigger tank, wait to get your cichlids.

Thank you guys for your help. I appreciate all the insight

Not that that's necessarily the determining factor! Just a hunch :)

I'm not positive but it sort of looks more South American, but that's my hunch because it was housed with electric blue dempseys in the store.

I went to a specialty fish store today and fell in love with it, but I'm not sure what kind it is? Sorry about the picture quality, he/she's quick!!!
