hi everybody

new here just wondering what you thought ,have just set up a tank i had hanging around .
its only 10 uk gal do think it would be big enough for a pair of apistos or maybe some other dwarf cichlid .
any help or advice would be great:)

For a beginner who wants to try dwarf cichlids, I would recommend A. borellii in this size tank. They stay small, adapt to fluctuating temperatures better, and tend to behave better than most as pairs. To top it off they are beautiful fish!
