Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	I'm going to end up buying a 29g dual stand and putting a 20g long on the bottom, so I'm looking for suggestions for stock Already have: livebearers dwarf puffers Asian biotope (honey gouramis, harlequins) angels I don't really want tetras, danios...maybe some sort of cichlid I could try breeding? Are there African cichlids other than kribs I could keep in this sized tank? Bring on the ideas Last edited by Theresa_M at 29-Dec-2004 02:00 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Also, barbs, small plecos, and non-splendens bettas are fish that you haven't mentioned keeping. You might try out some of those.

Or, if you prefer patterns to colors, a Julidochromis species would look wonderful. EDIT: Obviously, I also strongly recommend shelldwellers but everyone else has as well so those are two other options.

Since you have so many tanks, easy maitenance is important. Breeding is more likely to occur with soft, acid water for most South American Cichlids, and hard, alkaline water for most African Cichlids. Dwarf Cichlids would be a good choice for the 20, such as Apistogramma, Laetacara, Nannacara, Mikrogeophagus (Bolivians, btw, like slightly alkaline water). Shellies are a good choice for Africans.
