What Kind

[CRAIGYBHOY666]

HI. IV BEEN KEEPING TROPICAL FISH FOR A YEAR OR SO NOW AND HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE PROBLEMS THAT I COULDNT DEAL WITH SO I THINK I BEEN QUITE SUCCESFULL UP TILL NOW. I GOT RID OF MY TROPICAL TO TRY WITH CHICLIDS BUT THEY ALL KILL EACH OTHER. WHAT GROUPS OF CHICLIDS CAN I PUT IN THE SAME TANK, WHICH ARE NOT TO BIG AS I DONT HAVE A LARGE AQUARIUM, AND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TOO LOOK AFTER THEM.


THANX FOR ANY HELP

PS. I LIKE LOTS OF COLOURES

What size tank have you got and what type of Cichlids would you like to keep?

 

[caboose_122]

i would go with tanganyikan species if you dont have a large tank.

try not to type in cap locks, its really hard to read

30 litres is far too small for most Cichlids, I'm afraid.
You could keep a pair of Dwarf Cichlids like Apistogramma Cacatuoides but it will need to have plenty of plants and hiding spaces.

Or a pair of shelldwellers Its way too small for any other cichlid really.

ps. iv got to krabensis just now and two east euro rams. how are they?

 

[Nim]

Rams would be fine in that tank but not kribs. Kribs will manage to kill the rams if put togather.

[stang1]

The tank is too small for Kribs but you might just get away with the Rams.
Like I said, a pair of Dwarf Cichlids or as Nim suggested, a pair of shelldwellers would be ok. It's far too small for much else.

30 liters? for ANY CICHLID are you insane?

a betta perhaps or a guppy or two but anything else would simply be cruel.

 

[stang1]

That's just your opinion.
I am of sound mind thank you very much and all my fish are cared for.
I've kept a pair of Dwarf Cichlids in a 30 litre tank for 8 months now and even had a succesful breed.
Why I'm even explaining myself to you is beyond me?!?!?!

30 L is slightly larger then a 1ft cube and I think Shelldwellers and dwarf cichlids can do well in this.
