Hi! I am so excited, I finally have my 20g long set up!
And I want to get a pair of dwarf cichlids...
I have 7 zebra danios in there right now but I am willing to rehome them if they don't work well with the cichlid that I end up choosing.
I would love an apisto pair, but I would have to order them. I am also thinking of Bolivian rams or GBRs or maybe nannacaras. I would love to have two species but realize there isn't enough room for two pairs, unless I am mistaken.
Do I need a special kind of substrate for cichlids? I would love to avoid buying special water conditioners, etc but obviously will if they are necessary for my set up. My ph is about 6.8.
I have a marineland penguin 200 filter.
I would like someone who likes the top part of the tank, but my number one priority is creating the right habitat for my cichlid pair.
Any advise is greatly appreciated!!
