55g Dwarf cichlid stocking tips

[jakeandwendy]

okay i'm looking for another type of dwarf cichlid for the new tank. heres what i want to put in ther so far:

5-6 Kribensis 1:2 m/f ratio (is this right?)
6 emperor tetras
1 striped raphael
1 spotted raphael

the cats are a definite they're waiting patiently in the 20g for the 55g to fishlessly cyle!! any ideas would be great! thanks

my lfs doesn't carry ram cichlids. i'm also thinking about going with all male kribs to eliminate aggressiveness. try to anyways. i may end up ordering the fish online which i've never done before. if i do i will consider the rams.

One thing is if you get the rams they like bigger fish it makes them feel safer like keyholes they only get 6in
