I've been hunting for some centerpiece fish to add to my 30g which currently only contains a handful of endlers. I have come across and fallen in love with south american cichlids and done some research. I know that they are somewhat more sensitive to water conditions but I don't believe this to be too much of a problem as my tank has long been established and is well planted.
As for the fish, so far I have narrowed down my choices to:
Bolivian Rams - because they're hardier than GBR and i hear they're full of personality
Apistogramma (agassizi, or cacatuoides) - because they are very beautiful
I'm hoping some people with experience in keeping these fish could chime in and rate them in terms of personality, aggression, and hardiness? I wouldn't mind if they kept the endler population in control but I have heard they can get territorial when breeding and I wouldn't want them to kill the adults. Also which would be able to best adapt to harder water?
Feel free to list any other ideas. I have also been thinking of honey gouramis but they just dont excite me as much haha.
