Few cichlids are top-dwellers and will stay out of the way of the multis; those that I can think of are not good choices for such a small tank. Give the multis some time; soon enough they'll be breeding, filling the tank space with fish and personality. Adding other fish will only take away from your enjoyment of their colonial behaviors. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
