The Black-Stripe Dwarf Cichlid can be kept in a community with other peaceful cichlids of similar size or smaller. Other small fish that swim primarily close to the surface, such as some of the Characins, can also make good tank mates. These small surface dwelling fish serve another ...
Apistogramma is among the most speciose of South American cichlid genera with over 70 species valid at present but many more awaiting description.In addition many species exist in two or more geographical colour forms which may or may not turn out to be distinct in the future....

It’s possible to create successful dwarf cichlid aquariums using everything from no filtration to power filters with enhancements. The method you choose will depend on your personal preferences, the tankmates you are using, how crowded the tank will be, and the species of dwarf cichlid you are...

I'd leave the fry be unless it was trivially easy to capture them and remove them to a breeding tank or perhaps a large breeding trap. Removing and rearranging all the rocks and plants to try to find a batch of fry is likely to stress the cichlid pair. If the fry are actively swimmi...
