Hello, just joined the forum. I have three tanks at the moment, one of which i have just converted to lake malawi cichlid tank. However i fell in love with cockatoo dwarf cichlids in the shop. I understand these cannot be kept with full cichlids due to feeding and aggression but I was wondering if the dwarfs could be kept with angel fish in my other tank and i was also considering getting rams also to go with the angels. Is this advisable, does anyone know how compatible these will be all together. (it is a large tank and well planted, i will also be putting more rocks in.
Thanks

First can i say hi and To the site.
Not sure about the cockatoo dwarf cichlids but you can keep the rams with angelfish quite happily, in fact i think they compliment each other with their colours

Thank you for the welcome and the advise. I am now converting my larger tank into south american cichlid tank so i will be on the look out for rams and some more angels. I have just purchased a fire eel for my malawi tank and he is just wonderful!

Yes fire eels are very nice, also with time you can get them to feed from your hand. Have you any pics ?

Not a very good pic of fire eel. Double red zebra cihclid trying to get in on the shoot.

Must say that is a very nicely marked eel you have there In otice that you have gravel for your substrate, do you know eels prefere sand ?
