I like all the cichlids that Nick posted, shelldwellers are just my favorite FW guys. The multi and the brevis are adorable. And I know how the whole lack of money thing works, I'm only 15 too... But 16 in TWO MORE WEEKS! dances [/rambling] Okay I'm done now. -Ferret [hr width='40%'][font color="#000080"]I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea, I want to live like this forever, Until the sky falls down on me…[/font] -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

They can top eight inches in length, so a fifty-five gallon tank would be more suited to these fish. Some of the cichlids that can live in a twenty include: Rams, Apistogrammas, festivums, keyholes, curviceps, checkerboard cichlids, and most shelldweller species. I don't know what you are looking for, but this list will start you off with the small enough cichilds. I hope this helped you, welcome to the site!

The food you listed, however, they will eat no problem. Also standard flake, and cichlid pellets as they get older will help supplement their diet. In due time, your guppies will disappear. No worries there! Hope this helps 72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up 75 gallon: A.
