If your Dwarf Cichlid is a Ram, then yes, they can have a pair. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

mrwizerd Big Fish Posts: 360 Kudos: 197 Votes: 75 Registered: 24-Oct-2005	I think that you could do a Pair of Apistogramma anything, or a Male Bolivian Ram, Possibly a pair. I wouldn't do a German Blue Ram or the Gold colour morph in a 12 gallon they are just to sensitive. A female Krabinsis would be fun but a pair would probably be to big. You could do some killi type fish, some of the more exotic ones you could get like male and a female or three if you find a small enough species.
