	10g Possibilities?
zer0-60 Hobbyist Posts: 117 Kudos: 19 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Mar-2003	I've got a spare 10g tank collecting dust and I've always wanted to do a small cichlid tank. Is there a common species that might work in a 10g tank? I realize 10g isn't much to work with but do I have any options? Thanks in advance.

If you were to keep your water very clean, a male and two females of a small Apistogramma species would work as well. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
