For the future...whats the best combo of fish I can have in your opinion that will breed. And I know Convicts would be 1 way to go, but .... no. anything else, atm I have Kribensis that are breeding and they are alway losing their fry.. I have rams, and have had Agassizi's that have died on me :( so I would like a larger cichlid, of medium size...How would keyholes go in there? But I don't know much about them.....

so guys bring on the suggestions
 
What about jewel cichlids?

You could also probably have a small colony of Lake Tang cichlids, like J. transcriptus or J. ornatus... maybe some shellies?
 
apistos, rams, or keyholes. shellies would be good. convicts might need a bit more space when it comes to defining territories or spawning. look fo fish around a 4" max or under.
 
Yeah, water straight out of tap is about a 8. But I do lower my pH for some of my tanks.

Apisto's, they are kind of small, I like them, but I would rather a monster or 2 for a little while. As for the african cichlids, I will keep looking into them, even a single beast would be good.

I have a larger tank, but its currently growing a few small blue acara's so I can get some offspring.

Just a thought, I'd say it would be small, but would a single pair of blue acara's live in a 20gal. It would be a little small for space, but if they are paired, would they really travell far anyway?

just thoughts....
 
^bump.....also

what about brichardi's? I would like to know how they would go in there...I think they look great...

planted or not
heaps of territory's or lots of swimming space

also M to F ratio

and numbers, how many?

This seems to be a good way to go, atm
