Hi cichlid experts!
I currently have a 60 Gallon tank with a mix of fish that are labelled as nippy and semi- agressive but they all get along VERY well. These include a Three spot Gourami, Rainbow Shark, Tiger barbs, Tetras and cories.
I REALLY REALLY want a small dwarf cichlid. My favourite is the German Blue Ram but I'm scared of them apparently being very sensative. I also really like Kribensis but people I know who keep rare fish say they are not very hardy. I'm also very fond of Bolivian Rams.
Out water here is medium hard and has a relatively high PH at around 8 give or take 0.2
I'm not gonna alter those parameters as all my fish look happy.
Every time I add fish people tell me it won't work and they will fight, but the fact is, my fish get along very well. The only real aggression I ever get is from the shark at feeding time, the rest of the time things are very calm.
Thanks in advance
