Dwarf Cichlid

[johno]

Hi.

I have a 20G tank wich i am wanting to re-stock with dwarf cichlids.

What i am looking for is attractive, colourful lookin' cichlids that would be ok to keep with live plants.

I know i am going to be limited due to size of tank, but if you guys/girls could drop a few names wich i could research, that would be a great help!

Most Apistogramma species would be fine in that size tank and they'd be ok with plants.
Have a look at:
Apistogramma Cacatuoides
Apistogramma Borelli
Apistogramma Macmasteri

You may get away with a pair of Czech Rams but they do prefer a mature tank.

Apistogramma Cacatuoides look very nice indeed. I will definatly read-up on those tomorrow afternoon!

More comments welcome

Have a look at kribensis while you are at it.

Rams are also nice

you shouldn't have any problems finding the Cacatuiodes either but you may find it hard to get a good specimen. Also try Apistogramma Rotpunkt (blue cheek), very nice fish.
