Need advice on tank mates...

[nicola]

I have a 37.5 litre tank (think its 10gallon) and i am after getting some new fish, problem is I dont know what fish would mix with my black neon tetras.
I am considering getting either a pair of kribs (pelvicachromis pulchers) or cockatoo cichlids (apistogramma cacatuoides). I also have hard water in there and ph is fairly high.
I have owned rams in the past and bf had some malawi cichlids so i plenty about aggression within cichlids.
Can anyone help me decide between the two? which is better for the tank?
Any advice welcome...

I'm sorry to say i think the tank is too small for either, certainly no way with the Kribs but i'm pretty sure too small for rams too.....sorry .

1 male betta might be ok with black neons but I can't think of any cichlids that can go in a 10 gal.

Never kept them but you may be ok with a couple. I think a lot of people would say not to but i think you could just about make it work.

Do you not fancy the Betta?

Your tank is perfect for shelldwellers! Your neons will do well enough with them too, as long as you have a large enough group.
