Hi guys,
I have a fluval edge 12gallon (46 litres) tank.
It is currently going through it's fish less cycling process and in the mean time I am researching the sort of live stock feasible for this tank.
I really love dwarf cichlids. I know they would be more work than something like a dwar gourami but I think they would be worth it. Obviously German blue rams would be A: way too cramped (unless I got a single fish on it's lonesome..it which case it probably wouldn't be too happy) and B: difficult for beginners. There is Bolivian rams but same issue with size.
What are everyones thoughts on perhaps a breeding pair of smaller dwarf cichlids such as apistogramma borelli or maybe badis badis? I hear they don't mind small tanks (especially in pairs) and are far more docile than most other cichlids.
Or any other small dwarf cichlid species that could really be the "centre piece" of my tank (with only a small shoal of something like tetras accompanying it).
Thanks guys!
