There are a fair few south american dwarf cichlids but they have better lifes if your water is soft not hard.Your local aquatic center shoud beable to tell you if your water is hard or soft if you take some to them.If you have soft water there's quite a list to choose from.Dwarf Cichlid Photos
Bolivian ram cichlid-(MICROGEOPHAGUS ALTISPINOSUS) are very hardy and do well in hard or soft water types.And are a non aggressive species. Bolivian ram's. ![]() There is ofcourse the kribensis cichlids-(PELVICACHROMIS PULCHER).The down side is that some breeding pairs take things a bit to far and some pair have been known to kill each other.But if you get the right pair there's no problem with them there normal colour and a morph colour-(ALBINO). Normal krib. ![]() Albino krib. ![]() Last edited by gazz; 19-02-2008 at 08:10 PM.. |

![]() seriously, in a few months you will have a tank with a few malawi chiclids in... nothing else. also, they need a very high pH... which you cant possibly have in your tank. I suggest you get rid of everything except the ram, neons, guppys and harlequins. ![]()

malawi's need lots of rocks, and very hard alkaline water ram needs soft slightly acidic water - and with those cichlids in there it wont be there for long firemouths will kick the bollocks out of everything, and need neutral water, poss slightly alkaline neons, harlequins and guppies wont be in there for long i would really suggest you sell some of them - i would sell the malawi and firemouths as they arent suited to the aquarium you describe, and quite frankly it is poor husbandry, as they (malawi's) need specific care
