Apistos (or other 'dwarfs') for a 10 gallon blackwater?

Hello all! Currently setting up a ten gallon blackwater tank that, when complete, will have a PH in the 4's and TDS in the 20's or lower. I've been considering keeping a pair of dwarf cichlids in it, but seeing how this is only a standard 10 gallon I was not sure any would be truly happy in it. Any apistos (or other blackwater dwarfs, for that matter) that would work? Thankx!

Hello.

According to your water values, I think you can feed Ivanacara Adoketa . It will be very nice and you have a better chance of getting a pup.

Good luck...

A 10 gallon tank is too small even for a mated pair of I. adoketa if/when a spat occurs. If you don't have experience with dwarf cichlids you would be better off with other less territorial fish.

I made an assessment of water values. The master made the right assessment. If the volume was appropriate, I would recommend your Ivanacara Adoketa feed again. Because, your water values are very suitable for Ivanacara Adoketa...
