The real apistogramma's come from southern America, they all have the same characteristics, like a complex breeding behavior, as their large relatives, only their size is different.真正的短的来自美国南部，它们都具有相同的特征，像一个复杂的繁殖行为，作为其大型亲属，只有他们的大小是不同的。 Besides the apistogramma group there are also some relatively popular dwarf cichlids from Africa, like the Pelvicachromis group.除了短组也有一些比较流行的矮cichlids来自非洲，像Pelvicachromis组。 From this group the most widespread cichlid is the Pelvicachromis pulcher, also known as the Kribensis or Purple cichlid.从这一组最广泛的鲷是Pelvicachromis pulcher ，也称为Kribensis或紫色鲷。

Generally the cichlids from the apistogramma group are more fragile and harder to maintain, and breed, for a longer period of time.一般来说， cichlids从短组更加脆弱，难以维持，繁殖，为更长的时间。 In my opinion apistogramma's are not real beginner species.在我看来，短的是不是真正的初学者物种。 They are more likely to get diseases if not all the environmental variables are properly taken care of.他们更可能得到的疾病，如果不是所有的环境变量得到妥善照顾。 They need soft and acidic water with a low PH value, a PH of 5.5 to 6 is preferable.他们需要软和酸性水的PH值低的PH值为5.5至6是可取的。 They hardly eat dry foods, best is to feed them live foods or frozen food, like bloodworms, brine shrimp and mosquito larvae.他们几乎吃干食品，最好的饲料是他们生活的食品或冷冻食品，如bloodworms ，盐水虾和蚊子幼虫。 Apistogramma species can be kept in a large tropical community aquarium, but be sure the other fish are not too small, they can defend their territory very fiercely, and can be quite aggressive when they are breeding.短物种可以保持在一个大型热带水族馆社会，但可以肯定的其他鱼类不是太小了，他们能够保卫自己的领土非常激烈，可相当积极当他们滋生。 In my opinion it is best to keep the apistogramma's on their own, in a larger aquarium you could combine two apistogramma variants together, maybe supplemented with a small group of other fish, like some livebearers or betta's.我认为最好是保持短的自己，在一个较大的水族你可以结合两个短变一起，也许补充了一小群的其他鱼类，像一些livebearers或斗鱼的。 They also can be kept together with discus or angel fish.他们还可以保持同时铁饼或天使鱼。 I always have a harem of apisto's in my discus tanks, just to populate the lower areas of the aquarium and I really like these small dwarfs with a big attitude.我总有一种惊愕的apisto的铁饼在我国水箱，只是为了填充较低地区的水族馆和我真的很喜欢这些小矮星有一个大的态度。

The cichlids from the Pelvicachromis group are much more tolerant when it comes to water values and feeding, I do consider these cichlids a good beginner species. They are hardened, beautiful colored and eat almost anything.这些强硬，与美丽的颜色几乎吃任何东西。 The Pelvicachromis pulcher is maybe one of the most easy to breed cichlids as well. Pelvicachromis pulcher的也许是一个最容易滋生以及cichlids 。 If you have an adult couple they will reproduce, in a community tank, a special species tank or in a pond, some people like to breed them in their pond during summer.如果您有一个成人夫妇，他们将复制，在社区坦克，一个特殊的物种在坦克或一个池塘，有些人想繁殖它们的池塘在夏季。 Actually some of the biggest and nicest colored Pelvicachromis pulcher were pond bred and raised.其实一些最大和最好的颜色Pelvicachromis pulcher是池塘养殖和提高。 The only thing to keep in mind with these cichlids is that they are capable of redesigning your aquarium, they can make huge holes and are real little bulldozers.只是记住这些cichlids是，他们有能力重新设计你的水族馆，它们可以使巨大的黑洞，并没有真正的推土机。 So if you have, or want to setup, a subtile planted tank, don't add a couple of Pelvicachromis to your aquarium.所以，如果你有，或者想安装，一个微妙的种植坦克，不添加了几个Pelvicachromis到您的水族馆。

The last dwarf cichlid I want to mention is the Microgeophagus ramirezi, or Ram cichlid.最后矮鲷我想提的是Microgeophagus凤凰，或羊鲷。 Their behavior and care are roughly the same as the apistogramma's but they are more tolerant when it comes to water values, and in my experience they are easier to keep in good condition.他们的行为和护理是大致相同的短的，但他们更宽容的时候水的价值，并根据我的经验，他们更容易保持良好的状态。 Unlike the apistos they have to be kept as a couple, not a harem but that's the only breeding experience I have.不同的是apistos他们必须继续作为一对夫妇，而不是一个后宫但这是唯一的育种经验，我有。 I have tried several couples, have a couple in a breeding tank right now, but I have never even had a clutch of eggs.我已尽力了夫妻，有一对夫妇在饲养池的权利，但是，我从来没有了离合器的鸡蛋。 I know from other breeders that they are kind of hard to get going, but if they do they never stop.我知道从其他饲养者，他们是一种很难找到去，但是如果他们做他们从来没有停止。
