    Exclamation dwarf cichlid tank

    I am starting a 30 gal tank & would like to do dwarf cichlids. I know that it isn't the biggest tank but i already have an 80gal (peacocks & haps) & a 10gal (multies) & the hubby wasn't budging on anything bigger at the moment. Any suggestions on species & amounts?

    I just noticed that this is in the wrong place. Can a moderator move this to the dwarf cichlid thread?

    Haha, was about ask what this had to do with bog plants. Anyway here's a couple video's of my 30g dwarf tank, one of them has species info. Should help get you started.





    Its also worth looking though the dwarf chilid section, we have had lots of discussions about them lately, lots of good info there.

    30G is a nice size for dwarfs as FJ said check out the Dwarf cichlid section as there's been quite a bit of a dwarf flurry lately
    My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

    I agree with the others. Nice size for dwarfs!
