I think rams would be quite happy in a tank that size as well as some Apistogramma, though I may be wrong having never kept SA cichlids before.

Rams are ideal in a 20-30 gal. planted tanks.

Bolivian rams or a pair of apistogrammas would be good.

I'd agree with Jasonpisani for the rams, 20g min

Go with 15g minimum for most apisto pairs or harems.

a pair of kribs would be more then happy in a 20g. would easily breed in a tank that size. could prolly keep some other fish like neons or cards with them.
