please help me choose a dwarf cichlid

[absolutangel04]

im still leaning towards the caca two's

That is fair, I am just personally not as big of a fan of cacs.
N. Anomala are great little fish. I love them.
Frankly, I am a far bigger fan of various Laetacara than Apistogrammas, but hey, to each their own. A. borelli are gorgeous little buggers though. If I had tank space, I would find some. If I see ever see some locally, I will probably go ahead and make tank space. Because, you know, http://web.ornamentalfish.com.tw/upload/208.jpg

You can fit more borellii into a 20 long and still have them get along fine.....

It's all in how you feed them and just think, you have cac babies and if he gets borellii there could be a future trade for fish you guys don't have

No more babies atm, if anything I'll have ram babies first.
Doubtful at best though.

Empty tanks is one of those problems I rarely have for long

Empty tanks? Is that even a thing? You can get some set ups going and get a few of those fish! 20 highs are not the ideal tank size, but you can use for community fish pretty easily. 46 bow would be a great place for a dwarf cichlid based community.

last time i got tank fever i woke up in debo's pigeon coop. that 46 bow is really nice. i think you're right. i ought to get that tank going soon.

I've seen it, it's horrible so I adopted them and filled them with water and fish.

Thank goodness you saved those tanks from a life of getting dusty and not holding water. They now have a purpose!!

Rofl this thread fell apart at the seams after the mention of a trio broken down by gender and fell into the rescue of abandoned tanks. Priceless
