New to the forums, new to dwarf cichlids. Pretty new to cichlids in general. I have a pair of cons set up in a 29 gallon and I really enjoy them. They're great fish with lots of personality.
I have a spare tank in the basement and the lps has some A. cacatuoides in and I was thinking about getting myself a pair. I love these fish. Seen them on the net and in books, but never in person til two weeks ago, and I gotta say I think they're one of my fave fish. But I was wondering if I could keep them in a 15 gallon or not? And if they would breed? Because I would definitely be able to trade babies into the lps I'm buying them from.
I don't want to get the fish if I can't properly care for them...
I was thinking 15 gallon, heavily planted, a bunch of clay pots for hiding... Sound okay?
Thanks for any advice!
