Double Red Cichlids

[ApistoNut]

can i breed a trio of double reds in my community tank with a trio of dwarf gourami?

What is the actual species of the cichlid? What size is the community tank and what sort of set-up is it? "Double red" just means it's a fish with two red fins.

oh lol its a Apistogramma Cacatuoides, and its a 20gallon live planted caved tank

The average with the average should be ok, does depend on individuals of both species.

I'm suprised your trio of DG's aren't falling out with each other let alone the Apisto's. I once had 3 and they did nothing but fall out! Should be fine though as they generally occupy different levels of the tank. The apisto's will soon sort them out if there is any issues when breeding.

good luck
