Hi, I am new to posting here, but not new to the world of fishkeeping or aquatic forums. I've had tanks with many types of fish over the past 15 years, but have never tried cichlids of any sort. I have become obsessed with the dwarf cichlids! I've been reading here for several months now and bought my first dwarf cichlids (a pair of blue rams) a few months ago.
Today I picked up a pair of A. Panduro's. They are great looking fish and I am quite taken with them
Right now I have them in quarentine. My initial plan was to put them in a 29 gallon tank that is heavily planted with lots of driftwood, rocks, caves etc. It's current inhabitants are some rosy barbs and 5 botia striata (zebra loaches). Will this setup work? My main concern was the botia striata's curiosity and propensity to stick their noses in every nook and crany in the tank. Will this be a potential problem?
Thanks for any help, and for such a great site.
