I just set up a 20long and it has just finished cycling! I want to get a chiclid to put in it but idk what one!

This is what im thinking so far:
1) Convic- single male
2) blue/boliv rams- 2 or 3 all same sex
3) jewel cichlid- single male
4) electric blue acara- single male

Number 3 and 4 im not sure if i can keep them in a 20g long. I have heard mixed yes/no on the jewel and cannot find info on the EBA.

And input is welcome as long as im not being insulted!

I'd would go with Bolivian Rams, awesome little fish, go with a pair of them and you should be fine. Blue Rams need a higher temp. Convicts are very nasty little fish, I deal with them at work, had one beat up another.

Rams or shell dwellers IMO for a 20L.

I think i will either get a couple bolivian rams or a male convic. I want to avoid fry so if i get some bolivians they all need to be the same sex....would 2 males get along? Also my LFS said they rarely get them in. I do have all the large cain pet stores near me however.

Do not put two male rams together they will bicker and fight. I bought two rams from Petco.. Only have one left, they were quite under fed when I got them. But I would add something else in the tank since rams stay near the bottom.
