25g tank and cichlids?

fishman89 · Feb 7, 2005

I just got a 25g tank and its up and running(cycling with a feeder fish as we speak) I have a power filter going along with 6lbs of gravel and some plants. Plus a few rock caves and nooks. Some driftwood too. Can I put cichlids in there? Does anyone have any pictures of cichlids? I'd like to know what they look like before I go and buy em. Any info or pics would be greatly appreciated.

There are thousands and thousands of different types of cichlids.... from all areas of the world.

Africans, south americans, central americans, asian.... everywhere!

In a 25 you should do some german blue rams or bolivian rams or cockatoo cichlids or kribensis.

You could do a lake tangynika biotope tank of shelldwellers but you would need to change your water chemistry for them.

Search the internet for cichlid articles to get you started.
