Top 5 Cichlids for Small Aquariums 

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together. I learned a lot! I'm definitely doing my homework before I start my next tank . I think I'm really in love with the blue Rams! 😍I hope you have an amazing day 👍🐟🌱🌿

Beautiful ciclids now I want to keep some did have yellow & blue ones many years ago

Great video! I just picked up some GBRs and they are my first cichlids ever. Can't wait to have them pair off!

great choices for small cichlids!

Great video, thanks for sharing

One of the Smiling Acaras, Laetacara curviceps is one of my all time favorite fish. Hard to find! They definitely deserve more love as they are great with larger tetras - no mini rasboras. All around great choices. Maybe an African butterfly fish for those rock dwellers? Or a gourami... mollies... platys...

Great video my friend 😉👍🙋‍♀️

excellent video!!!

Nice Jason !

Shellies! Especially multi’s for their personality. I’m sure someone else has mentioned them, but fav cichlid so far

I saw 3 species I haven't seen before, so thank you Jason.

The Dwarf Flag Acara is a great little additional to any aquarium. Largely very peaceful: even spawning fish don't cause too much trouble if the tank is large enough to allow them the space they need. Mature fish are very attractive. They are active and inquisitive: you really get the feeling they are curious about the surroundings, rather than aimlessly schooling about. In the UK, availability is a bit of a problem.... and when they appear they don't look as robust as they were long time ago (don't know if that's a result of decades of farmed/tank raised interbreeding?) I have long desired a couple of pairs: but I just can't find 4 fish that look as robust as I remember when I first kept them.

If you haven’t decided what to keep with the shell brooders, some type of rainbow fish would be awesome and add a lot of color!

I'm digging the apistos from you

Great information. I would like to have cichlids, I never had them before. Can they work in a 16G Cora Life BioCube with live plants?

Bolivian Rams are nice.

great video! i thought in a prior video you mentioned you inherited some caudopunks (neolamprologus caudopunctatus). are you still keeping them? if so, would love to hear about your experience with them. thanks!

You are super informative. New to cichlids and these smaller ones are amazing. Can the Kribs go in with Apistos?

I like demasoni cichlids. Their striking blue looks gorgeous.

I got a pair of ramirezi with a male apistogramma Borelli. I would like to have some bolivian ramirezi and Cacatuoide apistogramma. Do you think is better to get just a male of each to put them with my pair of Ramirezi? Thanks.

I never could keep krib with anything great list Jason have a good one

My favourite, GBR.

Great video I’m currently getting into apistogramma’s but having alil trouble finding them here in southern wv any recommendations for ordering some ? Greatly Appreciated

For the African “shell dweller” cichlids if the tank parameters match up you could do African buttterfly fish there like a “mini arowana”

Very nice! I was thinking the Caudopunctatus would make this list ... 🤔😂🤣

I have single male Curvicep in my 20 long community, his name is Bongo and he is my centerpiece fish! His personality is what made me decide to buy him last week, and i’ve fallen in love with him. he does well with my danios, minnows, and platies but he did eat up my tiny snails and shrimp!

I know this video is 2 years old but if you're still looking for tank mates for the temporalis, cyprichromis leptosoma would be great imo. Really cool looking cichlid that's gonna stay in your top third and maxes out about 3in.

My curviceps was this color in the store. In my 29 he is a dark blue and gray, It's crazy!

I notice your Apistograma has a long “number 2” streaming behind . I have one that seems to always have a long one trailing too. Are they known for “big jobs” ? They do break off and are easy to remove with a siphon or pipettes, it just seems he goes to the toilet….a lot !

what about electric yellows?

Could you mix electric blue rams and apistogramas in the same tank. I have a 55 gal and I want to put other cool fish with my blue rams

Hey can you please tell again, what are those both species at 6:54

Kribs are great had two female and one male, one female had lots of young while she was looking after them, the male would slip away and go and flirt with the second female.

can these be kept in a 50 tall?

noticed your r o behind you what brand is it is it just for the fish room or house too?

Can u put two different male rams in the same tank

My Kribensises are out at the front of the tank all the time. I have alot of hiding spots

Can you keep those fish in a10g tank

Trying really hard to find some curvicep cichlids at the moment 🙂

I am looking for a good cichlid to keep in a ten gallon fish tank I live in a apartment

Hi, I got tired if the dominance if Mbunas, so I am here for a 40 reg and 10.

How many German Blues can i add to my 35 gallon?

Kribs are awesome I have one. They love to eat snails.

Good Morning, I have 3 Krebs... 2 female and I believe a male. The 1 female is super aggressive and chases the 1 female all over the tank. Hence the reason it cowers by the back of the filter On occasion the aggressor ( female) has done the “ shimy” to her. Normal behavior?

How do you know female from male

Angelfish?

Hey bud for the future you should keep us at eye level I feel like a giant lol

Always surprised nobody ever mentions Jewel Ciclids when talking about smaller cichlids

Alges in the tank. Is it ok?

Can German blues live with chili Rasboras?

800th like

Dorsigerus, Leleupi

Wait what, you can get a 20 gal for $20??
