10 gallon cichlid?

[Tategrant]

I was at my local LFS and I saw some really nice cichlids. I was wondering if any of them would fit in a 10 gallon? Anyone?

theres only one kind that can go in a 10 gallon shell dweller multis

Are they expensive?

usually 5-15 dollars a piece get one male and two females they breed really easily and will add numbers to your tank i think about 5 or 6 would be the max so you could bring the rest of the fry in for store credit once they are old enough

You could also prob get away with a few rams they stay small

20 gallons is the smallest recommended for a pair of rams. multis cichlids make very small territories just get some escargot shells for them to have as a territory

Gotcha I don't have much experience with shell dwellers so I thought maybe rams
