Breeding pair for 20 gallon

[JackDempsey72]

Hi I'm going to get into the breeding hobby and start breeding cichlids in a 20 gallon. I was wondering if there is any cichlids that I could breed. I'm interested in cryptoheros( not that I'd think they'd fit ), rams, kribensis etc. I don't know diamensions yet but it's 60 cm long also 94 litres

Anyone?

Rams maybe but bigger tank would be better.

Ok. After reading another thread i think I should go high maybe 30 gallon. Would kribensis work as I really don't want to get a bigger tank but have room for 4 ft. I will have to look at some 3 ft long aquariums

I asked this on another forum and some said convicts would be good. Is this true

Blood Red jewels are much nicer than most dwarf cichlids imo, or some brichardi would be cool... maybe shell dwellers?

What does that mean?

I wouldn't keep convicts in a 20H unless you divide the male from the female. If you don't, eventually the female will get thrashed or killed. I keep some of my wild breeders in 20Hs, but I have a permanent divider in the tank and let the pair spawn through the divider.
