Thinking Of Another Cichlid Tank

[PufferFishRule]

havnt been here in awhile but! i was wondering how many dif kinds of dwarf cichlids there are i recently started a 55 gal cichlid project for my existing cichlids as they will need more room...but for my 29 i was thinking of dwarfs...could someone point me in the right direction?

i put 2 kribensis in my 29 along with a couple of neons and black stripe tetras. i personally love the kribs. trying to get them to mate.

i wanna say you can put convicts in there as well. but those dont appeal to me as much as my kribs do. just my opinion.

i thought about a few JD's and some convicts but i hear they dont play well with others i want a tank with many diffrent kinds of dwarfs...like maybe some shell dwellers and a few others...some that will go well together and of course a plec or 2

well from what i hear shell dwellers dont go good with others either. they will pretty much pick a spot and run everyone off. my friend has one and it causes alot of problems in his tank. i had one as well that i got rid of

hmmm perhaps i will get a few red devils or green terrors then?

Red devils get up to 16" http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=116, and green terrors get up to 11" http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=2437

Maybe this link can give you a few ideas. http/www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/cookie_cutter_29g.php

Edit: thought I'd add this link too since the footprint of a 20 is about the same as a 29 http/www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/cookie_cutter_20g.php
