Hi silky,
I'm afraid you are pretty much at your stocking level so I wouldn't add any more fish.
Cichlids like to create territories and in a 70ltr, there wouldn't be room for another pair of Cichlids without the possibility of aggression.

im planning to move my community fish into another tank and leaving the rams in the 70 litre
could you suggest some cichliddy tank mates for my 2 rams? :good:

ive got a dwarf cocatoo cichlid in my tank if you can find one in the shops youll be lucky they look really nice, once mine had settled in his colours n patterns showed up better but hes not too friendly with my other cichlid

i have just phoned up my lfs and they dont stock that fish :angry:

could i put some keyhole cichlids in?
tank dimensions 50W x 49H x 34D

The tank isn't big enough for another pair of Cichlids, even smaller ones like the Apistos.
Keyholes can reach about 5" and can be quite shy so wouldn't recommend them for that tank.
