Can Powder Blue Cichlids or Electric Yellow Cichlids live in a 10 gallon tank?
I have a 10 gallon tank and I really want powder blue cichlids or electric yellow cichlids or a combination. I know they get along in bigger tanks and that 30 gallons is recommended but i just don’t have the space for a tank that big. If a 15 or 20 gallon tank could work I might be able to get one. If it is possible to have either of these fish in a 10 gallon, how many could i have? Please help.
The answer is yes and no. Electric yellow or Blue FRY can. In fact I grow my Pseudotropheus Flavus fry, along with any other species I get to spawn in a 15 for about a month. I then move them over to a juvenile grow out tank before I move them to my adult tank. So technically, yeah you can, but they’d have to be fry only. Juveniles and adults just are not going to work, I’m sorry.
I know you may not have room for a larger tank, but that’s really what it’s going to take. If you will not listen or follow this, then get ONE only. I’m sorry but you have to realize this:
With African cichlids, MALES are highly aggressive towards other males. Much like a Betta will not tolerate another Betta in it’s area, a male will fight continuously with any other males if the space is too small and 10 gallons is far too small. The males will see each other all the time and fight, NO MATTER HOW MUCH ROCK YOU PUT IN. It’s just not enough space. And when you buy a young group of Yellow or Blues for that matter, even the most experienced of keepers cannot accurately sex those fish at that age.
I breed several species of Africans, and GENERALLY speaking, you need to have a large group. Usually as my females are all still in their first full year of spawning, I’m getting between 12-18 fry per batch. It takes about a month of grow out to even start to GUESS if there’s males and females. Males will on average grow up and larger much faster then females, but this is not a promise it’s a male. I’m going into this to tell you, in a 10 gallon, even with juveniles, you aren’t going to know until it’s too late.
If you get the 20, you MIGHT be able to move up to 3 with the right amount of cover provided, and it would have to be a 20 long, not high.
