HI I have been keeping tropical fish for many years. i just got a new 60 litre (15 gallon) biorb tank which is home to 2 african dwarf frogs, 1 platty, 1 pair of dwarf gouramis, and a few guppies. i just got a pair of ram cichlids which i was told from a very reputable fish store that they would settle in well in a community tank. they seem to be doing really well and they have more colour now than they did in the shops. they sit at the front of the tank and stare at me as much as i stare at them. i feed them dried flake, dried pellets, dried blood worm and fresh daphnia. i would just like to know if i am caring for them right. the fish store owner told me a lot about these little fish and i have done my own research bu i would like to know from others if i am doing ok. the problem i have is that i am intrigued by these beautiful small fish and would like to keep more. what other cichlids would flourish in a community tank. pease help

Welcome to the forum. Kribs would be another smaller tank cichlid that does good in some community tanks.
