Stocking for a 30g Cichlid tank

[agirard2003]

So i took a drive to the local petsmart and here's what i found
Any help with what will work and not work will be greatly appreciated...

African

- Sunshine Peacock
- Acei
- Nimbochromis venustus
- Neolomprologus Tretocephalus
- Demasoni
- Electric Yellow
- Kenyi African
- Auratus Cichlid
- Jewel Cichlid
- Ice Blue Zebra
- Red Zebra
- Bumblebee
- Big Lipped Cichlid

South American

- Convict
- Firemouth
- Jack Dempsey
- Red Devil
- Green Terror
- Salvini
- Blood Parrot
- Oscars

I'm gonna go through each profile and see what i find.
If anyone knows already what many of these fish are and have any sort of recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that i will upgrade my tank to a much bigger tank in a year's time.

Thanks

In a 30g you could do a pair of convicts, or fire mouths, go for a male and female

The tank measures 12" x 30" x 18.5"

30 might be a little small to over stock it. but can be used as a grow out if you are looking to upgrade later on.

I will be upgrading.. We just built a house about 8 months ago and right now is time to get driveway and sod done for our yard..
That needs to get done first...
I'll be lookin to get a 150-180g

I would get 3 oscars then. Get as small as you can. They shouldn't outgrow the tank by a couple months if you get them at less than 3". Get a 150 and you'd be fine with three oscars

If u have a 30 gallon then get a pair of convicts. You can't go wrong! Best fish for your setup though.
