Stocking Possibilities

[Joanne_]

Hi

I would like to stock a 130 litre tank and was wondering how many cichlids I could have in there ?

What are some dwarf types ?

Also, is it true, you can get away with over stocking cichlids in a tank and still live happy ?

Thanks !

Cichlids with stockings...over. This would be interesting to see but I am not certain you will get away with it on this forum.

P.S
Sorry, that's all I could come up with at this time of the night

With a tank that size, you may want to look into shell dwellers. They stay very small and I believe you could keep quite a few in a tank that size. I cant thing of others you could stock in there though.

LOL Snazy, I was thinking the same thing, but I wanted to check as quite a few websites I found did suggest that over stocking is possible with cichlids, but a lot of others said no.

Hmmm, I do like German Blue Balloon Rams ... would this be possible to have ?

That is a possibility. I dont know much abou them, you may check in the new world cichlid forum

Okay, I'll make a post about stocking over there then.

Thanks !

I do belive though, a pair of germans can work, and their would still be room for some peaceful shoaling fish.

I have a pair of blue rams. Personally, I like the regular ones more than balloon bellies.
