The endler guy Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Thinking of getting Bolivian rams but my lfs doesn’t have any today (I’m in the car about to go there) any other dwarf cichlids that are good for beginners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndEEss Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Before you get them: do your tank parameters match those of any fish you’re thinking about buying? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumpweesel Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I'd be tempted to hold out for what you want. I have an apisto in my community tank but they are so territorial I can't add any other cichlids and maintain a peaceful set up. Same goes for my krib that was just a bully. You might be ok if you got something that wasn't a bottom dweller. But I'm not really an expert on mixing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a few fish so I know my parameters are livable for less sensitive fish, and I have gotten my current stocking plan green lit by other nerms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
