Ideas Needed Please

[patchouli]

We have recently set up a 96ltr tank. Once it is fully cycled we would like to keep some type of cichlids. We currently also have a 450 ltr community tank that has been up and running for about a year which has Molly's, Platy's, Plec's etc but fancy something different in the new tank. Any ideas or info would be fab. Really don't know much about cichlids,thanks

A trio of Apistogramma Cacatuides would be lovely. One male, and three females.

I like the Apistogramma Cacatuides too, there was a time I wanted to keep some and posted on the forum here. A member that bred them for years said it is extremely difficult to keep them from killing each other regardless that websites say to get a male with a harem of females. He said they get agressive when the male pairs with a female and recommended for a beginner to start with just one male and one female. It would be a nice project if maybe you can breed the pair and increase the number little by little, selling off the males?
