Hello people, so I'm new to the board and I am looking into keeping either apistos, rams, or possible Keyhole's in my current tank. Now from reading on here I've seen that very fine gravel or sand is ideal for apistos and my current substrate is small gravel, maybe 1-3mm in diameter depending on the piece. I am willing to change out the areas without plants and put sand in if needed (though looking through the gallery I have seen a lot of picture with gravel larger than mine). I have experience with Mbunas but none with fresh water cichlids so I am looking for a more hardy species.
My tanks dimensions are 24"x12"x15.5 and currently in my tank I have 10 Cardinal Tetra and 2 Golden Apple Snails, this week I will be adding a colony of 5-10 RCS as well (I'm hoping the shrimps spawn acts as a natural food source to supplement the cichlids diet). It is a planted tank.
Any help would be appreciated, (im also not really concerned about breeding either way, if it happens that great, if not thats fine too)
