[One_Trick_Pony]

well so what do u think?

 

[Dwarfs]

Cockatoos don't do well in pairs, but a 20g long would be ok for a male and 2 females

 

[One_Trick_Pony]

what about jus a singel male?

A 5g, if he was the only fish If you want a nice little community a 10 or 15 would be better

 

[Griz]

They really should be kept as a trio - minimum, in order to fully appreciate these fish. A 20gal long as Dwarf suggested would be ideal, but bigger is certainly better. I suppose one could keep a pair or a single male in a smaller tank but I would advise against it.

Even a single male needs some exploring room - a 5g is not really acceptable for any cichlid, even if they do 'fit'. Plus everything Griz said.

Don't the females get all territorial with each other and form a sort of hierarchy within the group if there is more than one?
