multiple dwarf species together?

[snakeskinner]

I have a 65 that has several plants (not heavily like some of you) on a sandy substrate with a few pots, a hermit crab house (half coconut shell) and used some flatrock to fashion some short wall dividers and caves on the other part of the tank. it will house many species of rainbows, a single angel and if my blue rams survive, a pair of those. I'm curious if there would be a way to keep another type of dwarf cichlids like an apisto of some sort and not have any problems between them? I know individuals will vary but in most cases? I like cockatoo's and would love to have a trio of those with the pair of rams but I don't want to have to invest in another tank if I can keep from it. I can add more caves and plants (if my lighting will support more). let me know what you think. Kyle

snakeskinner,

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

I don't see a problem with keeping those 2 species together in that sized tank. You do have an angel in there, but it will not occupy the same territory as the rams and cacs.

Have fun!

What about keeping a pair of Bolivian Rams with a group of German Rams (x5) and possibly 4-5 Apistogramma agassizi in a 42 gallon tank?
