Non-Apistogramma Dwarf Cichlids ?

[spinnin_tom]

hey fish people.
are there any other similar sized cichlids which aren't rams or Apistogramma ?
just curious really, since i don't see dwarfs apart from rams very often

thanks

There are some small Acara's.

 

[spinnin_tom]

how small are we talking, lol ?
and which species?

thanks mate / miss

Laetacara dorsigera - 3.5"

Laetacara curviceps - 3"

Nannacara anomala - 3"

Actually African Cichlids, but... Anomalochromis Thomasi are great little fish, usually very peaceful and very interestingly coloured. Nanochromis Transvestitus are closely related to Kribs, but great little fish.

those Nannacara are very pretty. what would you say is a minimum tank size ?

 

[minnnt]

Not really sure, maybe 65-70 litres?

 

[spinnin_tom]

any around the uk ?



thanks for your help, again !

Should be pretty common. Try Tropical Fish Finder.
