30 Gallon Stocking Options

[SKAPSYCHO]

Hello all,
I'm interested in getting my 30 gallon (36" long x 12" deep) going again and am looking for some ideas as to what cichlids would do well in there. I'd love a pair or breeding trio of something, but realize it isn't exactly a huge tank... I'm just curious to see what others have themselves and would suggest for me to try!
Cheers,
~Matt

Convicts are good... all though they breed like rabbits!

Does anyone have suggestions for a particular species of Julies? I'd also like Brichards, though I think they get a little too big maybe. Thanks for the advice thus far and have a good one.
It's party time at SJU!

I think convicts are perfect for what you are talking about...also maybe a pair of firemouths, though I'm not sure about their breeding nature.
