Whats Easiest To Keep And Breed

[mattbond]

i have a 110 litre tank that id like a pair/trio of dwarf cichlids in

i have a ph of 7.5 but i can lower it with peat/RO/bogwood/etc

i was perhaps thinking either Apistogramma cockatoo, Agazzis, or Rams? any recommendations on which is easiest to keep and breed? any other suggestions would be great?

Thanks in advance

cockatoos would be a great choice. a male and 2 females would be great but the females would need caves each and a place for the male too. and a grow out tank would be good if your planning on keeping other fish too.

these guys are hopeless first timers...but as they get older

i have plenty of caves and coconut shells in there, what about ph?

PH should be fine providing you GH IS lower than 10

its 12 GH , will peat in the filter lower that?

 

[corycatz]

rotpunt apistos are also very easy to breed

a 30% RO water change will and in the future when you do a WC use 60% tap and 40% RO

a good diet, of:

buy these as gamma frozen foods:
mysis
blood worms (not to often)
chopped mussel
chopped prawn
brine shrimp

and these normal foods:
tuna
lamb
beef
salmon

and a few flakes every three days
