Eugene Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Where is a dwarf lime cichlid from how big would it get in a 180 gallon tank? Would other dwarf's be compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 They are from Central America, and they max out at less than 4". In a 180 you'd have lots of room for other fish. They're cave spawners, so make sure you have at least one cave for each fish to defend. In a 33, I had 4 and each would hide in its own cave and come out and case the angels away. I sold off everything else in the tank except a few plecos, keeping just one pair. They've since spawned and are parading their cloud of fry around the whole tank. They're a lot like Convict cichlids in personality, just a bit smaller... and not as prolific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
