i currently only have african cichlids but I have decided I want to get some dwarf cichlids. I only have a 5 gallon tank with a aqua world 150 filter and a 25 watt heater. Will I be able to keep a pair or a single male in this tank? I will also have some plants in it.

5 gallon is pretty small for a pair. I suppose you could technically put a pair in a tank that small but the wont enjoy being cramped up so you will never see them at their best.

I would suggest a minimum of 10 - 15 that way they will be happier and show more colour so you will enjoy having them more.
