Dwarf Cichlid ?'s

Cool deal i am thinking of doing a 50gal just Keyholes only..
 
I have a breeding pair of bolivian rams. They are awesome, they like to dig uo the subtrate whn theyre moving the fry though so you might want to look into that.
 
I agree that the kribs(P. pulcher) will get too mean during breeding. The P. taeniatus are a much mellower cousin, I have 2 pair( less than2") in a 20 atm and there are fry in there too. Also you could try one of the Laetacara's( thayeri, dorsigera, curviceps). I know that msjinkzd had some dorsigera a couple weeks ago, and i saw the other two on AB this last week. There is also Anomalochromis thomasi(african butterfly cichlid) and Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi ( nichols dwarf moutherbrooder). All species would do great in a planted. The last 2 are African riverine, and I have seen both on AB in the last couple of days. The keyholes would be awesome looking in your tank though.

Rainbow Cichlids, Cutteri, Nanoluteus, T-Bars would all work.
 
thanks guys, I'm going to look around and see if I can find some of those apistos local. Anyone know where they have apistos in ma?
 
I got my Apistos from Atlantis in NY they came in very nice..
 
A. Cacatuoides are harem breeders but if you get a m/f then they might pair off...
