| Nah, you're not the only one. I'll have a few apistos/dwarfs. Nannacara anomala is one of my favorite small cichlids, so won't be without a pair. Have kept A. borelli, A. cacatuoides and A. agassizi in the past, and Apistogrammoides pucallpaensis as well. Want to find Taeniacara candidi and Crenicara filamentosa this time around.
On a slightly larger note, a little larger than "dwarfs" but definitely not monsters, are cupid cichlids, Biotodoma cupido. Great fish that I want to spawn. I never could coax them to spawn the last time I had 'em, and I'm bound and determined this time.

| I had a pair of rams...I mostly keep larger Cichlids. I think I would have more dwarfs if I didn't have the larger Cichlids.

| I want a massive tank and I mean massive...I keep dwarfs in my 40 gallon, right now I have a. bitaeniata, a, caetei, blue rams, kribensis....I want some agassizii and cockatoo, and maybe some inka or borellii, but they are all almost impossible to find in Vancouver Canada.. it drives me nuts. And I agree about you can never have to many tanks but I think my mother would disagree...I wonder what she'll say when a 30 gallon shows up next week  |
