Welcome to BCA Sounds like a neat project,dwarf cichlids are one of my favorites as well.Post in the Freshwater Chat section,or Cichlids section to get a few responses to your question.Good luck with your setup

If you're looking to go into dwarf cichlids, I would suggest starting with apistogramma cacatuoides. They're readily available, inexpensive, hardy, easy to breed, and comes in quite a few colour strains (red, double red, triple red, orange flash, etc). Kribs would work, but they can get neurotic when breeding and kill everything in site. Rams would also work, I'd suggest bolivians since the german/blue rams can be quite a bit more finicky, and may require higher than average temperatures.
