I currently have a heavily planted 29 gal (30 x 12 x 18.5) with ample hiding spots. The only current residents are a pair of young L183 ancistrus. I am in the process of moving and have decided to wait until after the move to put new fish into the tank.
I used to have a trio of cacatuoides in the tank and I'm planning on on getting more dwarf cichlids soon. I have narrowed my search down to 3 species: Apistogramma nijsseni, German blue rams or key holes. I was planning on keeping each species seperately in 20 longs, but after looking at a few threads on this site I was wondering if it would be possible to house 2 different groups of these dwarf cichlids in the aforementioned 29 gal and how they would fair when/if one or both groups started breeding. (I plan to remove fry when they become free swimming)
