Whats a better Cichlid For a 20 gallon Long Tank. (To Breed)

Kribensis
Convict
Green Terror
Johanni Mbuna
Electric Yellow Hap
Jaguar
Gold Sevum
Red Devil
 
I'm going to eliminate a few for breeding in a 20 gallon for you--these are obviously too large to be bred in a 20 gallon:

Thank You

Thank you for your reply i was wondering what would be a better combination for a community tank of cichlids or also or just for breeding.


Thanks Again
 
a few africans from Lake Malawi could live reasonably comfortably in that tank for a while. and lake tanganika shell dwellers could for life. A couple of convits could live in a 20 galloner happily for life i THINK..though one on its own may be better. Kribs i dont know much about but they do stay small but you may be able to make a community of them...if so you would want a few females and one male.
 
Johanni

Isn't the Johanni From the same region as the others like the Electric yellow and krib? Whould he be comfortable in the same tank with the Others i just listed?
 
Let's talk about the size of the tank. I realize that you have called it a 20 gallon, but there are multiple 20 gallon dimensions, so we'd need to know some exact numbers in order to go further.
 
My bad, I didn't see the 20 gallon long in the top. That was what I needed to know.

You can somewhat reasonably stock a 20 long as if it were a 29 standard, but that needs to be modified a little bit...the pollution levels of the Cichlids would be the same, they'd just get the 29g surface area for aeration.

I would think that you could stock it like a 25 gallon for Cichlids, but I would have to have someone confirm it, as I'm now delving deep into the realm of theory.

Someone else will hopefully be able to run with that.
