20 gallon long

[Bryterlater]

RecommendationsI'd like to do a cichlid tank. Aside from apistos what can I do? Can I keep rams and apistos together?

 

[Lupin]

Keep either rams or apistos. You can't have both once they spawn.

there really isnt enough room in a 20 gallon for the territories of both anyway.

 

[Mij]

One pair of convicts or firemouths.

Shellies, rams, or apistos.

Definitely do not do cons unless you can commit to more tanks for fry or can sell them quickly. A 20 is still pushing it space wise as well.

What are shellies??

 

[jpappy789]

Shelldwellers from Lake Tanganyika, a rift lake in Africa. Look at cichlid-forum.com's species profiles...under the Lamprologines (sp?)
