Hello, i'm new to cichlids but experienced with tropical set ups.
I have a very good 150 litre (40 gallon) set up with sand and stones, loads of pvc pipes, a veriety of plants and a huge external filter (with all new sponges, peat, ceramic rings and carbon). I recently lost all my fish in a power cut whilst on vacation and started over again a few weeks ago with a pair of Kribensis and 8 Rummy nose tetra that are thriving in my set up.
The tanks dimensions are 52' wide x 14' deapx 14' heigh.
I'm looking for advice with which other cichlids i can keep with them and my school of rummy nose tetra. I don't want anything that could upset them too much, although i understand squables over territories are inevitable. I dont want anything that could grow large, so it would have to be a dwarf species (no more than 4 inches anyway).
My tank has a constant pH of 6 with zero no2, no3 and KH. My general hardness is about 10od.
Although new to cichlids i'm confident i can cope with most suggestions.
Could you offer some ideas so i can do some reading about them?
Cheers
