Those who have kept rainbow cichlids: what in your opinion is the average size, and what is their min tank size?
o why didnt u say that lol i had mines in a 10gallon bare bottom box filter with a piece of indian almond leaf and piece of slate to spawn on and hide underI've already kept them for awhile, I know their care..... But I wanted some opinions as to tank size.
lolll yes i remember phone booths...i had to do it at the time because i had just gotten back from the ACA with a suitcase full of fish and didnt have the big real estate for each fish...i had to get 15 new 10 gallons as soon as i got off the plane to house most of the fish....but i would deff recommend the biggest tank you can get for them...right now my pair is in a mix community tank with some african bush fish, pair of geophagus brasiliensis that was getting bullied in my other tank and a little over zealous guianacara gaeyi in a 55 gallon with a bunch of pvc pipes and 4 box filters for filtration and a weekly 50% w/cIn a 10?? That's like living in a phone booth (remember those?). It can be done, but not very comfortable. For me, I think that a 20H would be the minimum that I personally would feel good keeping them in; something even larger if part of a community.
