Hello,
I have one blood parrot cichlid, I believe he is a male, and then I have two male electric blue gouramis. I would like to add some female fish in there, what would be some good tank mates? I hear that female EB gouramis are hard to find, so I doubt our small pet store will sell them, and I'm not sure about cichlids, but what about other fish? I'm looking for smaller fish too, not really into big fish, I don't think my tank is big enough for any big fish :)

Oh btw, i'm not sure how big my fish tank is, but the box said size 10 :unsure:
 
We would really need to know how big your tank is before we can suggest any other fish that might be suitable. Could you measure the sides and post the dimensions?

Okay, I googled it, and they say 10 gallons, do you still want dimensions?
 
It would help, but I can already tell you that your tank's too small for a parrot cichlid :( Sorry.
 
Too small for the one you have, I'm afraid.

Parrots can grow quite large and need an absolute minimum tank size of around 30 gallons, but 40 or 50 are the recommended sizes for those fish.

Really? Well, that is good to know. Thanks. I was told that they need 10 gallons each cichlid. Guess that was wrong! :/

Well, I was thinking about getting him in another tank anyways, since he's qetting a little aggressive with my electric blue gouramis. That's kinda weird actually, at the petstore they have like a dozen in a maximum 15 gallon tank :huh:

Okay, so say I move the cichlid in another big tank, what would be some good tankmates for the EB gouramis? I will try to figure out the measurements, I'm so not good at those kinds of things though.. lol..
