peaceful cichlids for cummunity tank?

[marie74]

I have a 37g FW- currently as a cummonity tank. -tetras and guppies. I have heard that you can add a pr of angelfish, and maybe a pr of the more peaceful dwarf cichlids- like a Kribensis, or ram? anyone have any success with this mix?

I keep blue rams with my community tank and they do great! Actually might be favorite in the tank

Great! My 37 currently only has 7 tetras and a bunch of guppies (mostly fry.. those things breed like rabbits!) I got my 10yr old son a 10g for his b-day- it's currently cycling. I told him he could choose 3 guppies from my tank when it is cycled. I'm not really a fan of the guppies- my boys like them. I think I'd prefer just tetras and a pr of angelfish, and maybe a pr of rams. I would like a pr of mollies too. I don't care if the angelfish or rams eat the fry.

I'd do a pair of Cryptoheros chetumalensis, sajica, or nanoluteus, this will add some size and color to your community tank.

How would they do with rams?

Anyone?

Central American cichlids generally have a higher aggression level than South American dwarfs, not a good idea in my opinion.

Plus we are drifting away from the original posters question, I'd recommend starting a new thread with your specific questions to your tank.
