I have never kept cichlids, but am looking for something nice and interesting to stock my final tank, a 10 gallon which is heavily planted. Im looking to get away from the more common fish species and get something a little more interesting.
Obviously i wouldnt buy a fish without researching first but whilst at the LFS i was pointed in the direction of dwarf chiclids, and in particular the german blue ram and a second dwarf ram, which was small and labelled as a 'balloon ram', it was shorter than the average ram and has a goldish sheen to it. I was hoping i would be able to house either of these due to their tiny size but cant seem to find alot about them! The guy at the LFS said they would be fine with other fish and in smaller tanks but i wanted to research first.
I was just wondering if anyone had some advice for me with regards to keeping dwarf cichlids, if i have the space and if anybody has some recomendations i would be grateful
