I was wondering if there are any types of cichlids that I can have in a 10 gallon tank?

I have kept tropical community fish for decades and I am pretty experienced in fish keeping. However, I never had cichlids and I would really like to try them. Sadly, all my bigger tanks are filled with community fish and the 10g tank is the only tank that is going to be empty soon.

Also, I prefer American cichlids over African cichlids.

Out of curiosity, what does carbon do in your aquarium filter besides remove medicine. Can a tank be filtered properly without it, say like with floss and sponges put in the filter?

do fish have feelings? My friend said probably not because they don't have a large brain but does anyone know?

I started noticing my fish in my tank was devolping white spots on them and first thought it was some type of Saltwater disease but come to find out my heater had failed and my water temp went up about 6 degrees and I took it out to check it and it shocked me so I think that was what was causing the white spots. So now I need to buy a new heater and I want a good one that will last, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

It seems to be behaving normally but it is about twice the size as normal and so looks really swollen. Its eyes are also bulging! Does anyone know what could be wrong and what I can do. It has been like this for about 48 hours. Thanks

I've three dwarf honey gouramis for two days now and they are already building bubble nests in my pennywort. I know I have at least one male, (someones buidling the nest) but would the gouramis build the nest without a female being present or is it safe to assume that at least one of them is a female?

I just got back from the lake and found 3 of the same shells. I just finished removing the dirt and stuff inside the empty shells and now they're sitting in warm water. Do you think it's ok to put them in my 10 gallon freshwater aquarium?

I have a "Rainbow Lifeguard Quiet One 6000" external pump that I would like to use on a new chiller for my tank. The pump is rated at a little over 1500 gallons per hour. I'm debating between a couple of chillers, one that has a max flow rate of 1300 gph and another that has a max of 960.

I know that you are only supposed to put any valves on the outflow side of the pump and lessening the flow to 1300 from 1500 doesn't seem like it would be that big of a problem, but I was curious it cutting it back to 960 would be hard on the pump in the long run.

(I'm leaning towards the bigger chiller as although it may be overkill for my tank, it would let me have a little more water circulation.)

Has anyone else experienced this? I introduced my gourami at the same time as the other fish in my tank (three red glass barbs and a red tailed shark). He is a complete bully! He nips at all of the barbs and it seems like he stalks my shark! My shark isn't aggressive. I think he's still young because he's quite small. He just swims away from the gourami. I don't know what to do. I don't think it will get too bad, but has anyone else experienced a mean dwarf gourami?
