QuestionI just started a community tank, currently have 10 danios, in a month or so will be gradually adding 11 tiger barbs and then after some time 5 or 6 panda corys. Would like a pair of dwarf cichlids after the others are established. Water temp is 77 degrees. What kind do you recommend? Thank you
AnswerI have had decent luck with german blue and yellow rams. They are a peaceful fish, although can be sensitive to water conditions. You would have to change 50% of the water at least once a week *should be doing this already*. Another species would be bolivian rams, though plainer than the german rams, they are a hardier species. Another species would be a krib, or possibly a dwarf cockatoo cichlid, or a keyhole chichlid. These are all common peaceful dwarf chichlids.
