other non aggressive dwarf cichlid

[mgfiest]

Hi... I currently have bolivan and gbr in my 120 gal tank and was thinking putting another non aggressive dwarf with them... Could some recommend another kind so I could discuss with my lfs to order... Thanks

Laetacara curviceps, Nannacara anomala, smaller Aequidens sp. & Bujurquina sp. Many others as well.

One of the least aggressive Apisto I have kept is apisto sp steel blue /neon head. Have kept them in several community tanks with laetacara/angels/discus/gbr / tetras with no problems.

don't go for the anomala. That one is really agressive when it has eggs or fry

What about Dicrossus filamentosus? Lovely fish

 

[chris1805]

That would be a really good option. They are quite peacefull especially with rams i think. And you have a 120 gallon so i don't see the problem. How many rams are we talking about in total? Would pick like 5 of these dicrossus especially when they are young because it's really hard to find out if male or female in the beginning

Hi all,

What about Dicrossus filamentosus? Lovely fish

They are lovely, and I know "rr16" has been really successful with them, but they really need soft water.

I'm not sure how soft the OP's water is? and whether he ever got a TDS meter?

cheers Darrel

I forget and take my lovely Manchester soft water for granted sometimes!

I suggest that you put the Anomala into the this tank.

Excuse me, I'm going to say no Anomala in this tank. I've realized now. It is very dangerous especially the female Anomala. For all the fish in the tank.

On that note, when I moved house I lost my female D. filamentosus female and turns out the last male had gone already. A shame as they were lovely fish and was going to breed them.
