It's nearly cycled, but we've had a bit of a blip so I doubt I'll be stocking for a month or so =(

Ideal stocking -

1 pair german blue rams
Trio of cockatoo dwarf cichlids

What else would be suitable? I have 4 corys that ideally need a bigger home - could they go in? What do I need to change to make the tank suitable for the cichlids? I know I need more hiding places - I'll be raiding my mother's potting shed when I get home!

I already have a shrimp and 7 neons in another tank, so don't really want to put similar beasties in this one. I'll be swapping the corys in my 60 litre for pygmy corys if I can move the corys into this tank.

What other plants would you recommend?
 
your tank is 24 gallons...so therefore you can only comfortably accommodate one pair of dwarf cichlids

Is that as the only fish in the tank, or I could have other fish but no more dwarf cichlids?

I'm curious as to why they need so much space, as they don't get very big (3 inches?) - is it an aggression and terriatory thing?
