Hello Janice Welcome back into the world of cichlids.... Dwarf cichlids are my passion..... To answer a few of your questions..... Yes you can keep and breed apistos in 10 gallon tanks. I keep around 30 different species and use 10 gallon tanks as my primary breeding and rearing tanks..... a few species are in larger tanks but not alot. Secondly..... The Ohio Cichlid Association had their Cichlid Extravaganza the weekend BEFORE thanksgiving..... you can be a member of the club without living in Ohio...... go to www.ohiocichlid.com and check out their web page for membership. I get their newsletter each month without living in Ohio..... I love it. Good luck with your endevours into the world of Dwarf Cichlids.
