RE: class room tank
Matt, I am a teacher and have had tanks in class for years. Kribs are an
almost sure thing for spawning but I think that A. cacatuoides would be a
good choice as they will not dig or tear up anything or other fish. Some fry
should make it on dry food, don't forget that decapsulated bbs don't have to
be hatched.

Dear List:
I am setting up a ten gal. tank in my son's first grade classroom.
Needless to say, whatever fish I supply will need to be hardy and adaptable.
No fish that need new infusions of r/o water twice a week!
So here is my question: Any dwarf cichlids that are acceptable
candidates so the kids can see them breed, care for young and all? In other
words what is the easiest dwarf cichlid and even then, would this work? The
teacher is not about to hatch BBS for the fry. Can any fry make it on
powered flake? Are there species where both parents are likely to be able
to remain in the tank?
Good old fashined Kribs come to mind. Maybe curviceps.
What do you think?
PS: On the "strange creature" thread. I had this once and cranked up the
temperature a few degrees. The wormy things soon disappeared.
