Bearded Frog Hobbyist Posts: 147 Kudos: 134 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-Apr-2004  | I would say none really.. Only cichlids you could keep in a 20 would be dwarf cichlids. Rams, kribs, aspitos, african butterfly ciclid, etc. Is it a 20 long or tall? |

inkodinkomalinko    Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003 | Theres some cichlids that would work, neolamprologus helianthus, brevis, brichardi, daffodil pulcher, leleupi etc. Theres also some various shelldwellers that work. |

| AngelZoo Fish Addict Posts: 771 Kudos: 501 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-Dec-2003  | In a 20G Long I feel you could keep about 3 or 4 of these little yellow guys, so long as you have lots of rock structer for hiding places, good filtration and keep up on your weekly maintainance. 1 male - 2/3 females. The females of this species are just as vibrant in colour. |

just beginning  Moderator Literature Nerd Posts: 1879 Kudos: 1380 Votes: 198 Registered: 17-Dec-2000  | I say that you need a 30 gallon mimimum for electric yellows. I disagree with keeping such an active, potentially aggressive 5" fish in a 20 gallon tank. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde |

| MR_CICHLID Fish Addict Posts: 770 Kudos: 582 Votes: 124 Registered: 12-Aug-2003  | I'll second that, min 30g... even still only 3-4 max......  Also i have to disagree with putting leleupi in a 20g... they get up near 5" and are a bit moody at times. |

| inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003 | I personally think leleupi are fine in a 20 gallon. They take average 2 years to grow to full size, and by that time will become acclimitized to their surroundings. |
