I just set up a 30 gallon long and I am trying to decide how to stock it.
I plan to have:
1) 5 panda cories
2) Some kind of small schooling/dither fish
3) Either a single or pair of either kribs or rams.
Is one more difficult to care for than the other? Also, how difficult is it to find a compatible pair for each? Is it just a matter of getting a male and a female, or would I need to get several and see which one's get along?
Any advice in helping me decide between the two would be helpful.
I have been keeping fish for about 2 years, so I am not a total noob, but I have never kept cichlids.
