    Driftwood plus plenty of plants...dwarf cichlids tend to be a bit shy..give them lots of hiding place. []

    My apisto are never shy...they can come up to the surface of the water when u're around. Once they get use to u're presence it's okay already.

    or are they underfed?[]
    Cheers!

    Some fishes are less shy when they know there is a place they can hide if the need arises. Initally, they will observe you from there until they figure out that you are not a predator but a food provider.

    Rams need dither fishes to make them less shy. No experience with apistos.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    for the deco of the tank, a tank with lots of hiding space is a ideal tank for dwarf cichlids =) it can be up to you to design . There are many stuff which you can play around with.

    Hi Roy,

    I also just finished settin up my apisto tank. 4th phase liao, just re-arranged the mount everest in my tank. Ok enough braggin.

    I would suggest u decide between rams or apistos lor. Pure tank of only 1 species is very nice. And from what i learnt from my sifu, he's up there in this thread. HaHa. Rocks and wood don mix well. If u prefer wood tied with java moss, can also make sure have lotsa it. So as to create more hidin place and make them feel secure

    What kinda gravel ? Those fine gravel 0.3-0.5cm, lonestar or dennerle would be a good choice.

    cheers
    Thanks & Regards,
    Trevor

    well its also a qtn of how many fish u r keeping too really. just remember that most cichlids r territorial using deco in tank as landmarks, insufficient draftwood or too many fish will result in stressful, weaker fish.

    rams i feel r more aggressive while mixing them is not a big problem just be prepared for accidents.
