Cichlids for 20g L?

[Sarah88]

once my red terror fry grow out and are moved to my 125, i want to set up my 20g L as a planted tank with a breeding pair of something, is there a nice colorful cichlid that could be kept as a pair in this tank (12x30x12 i think?) with plants? something that stays like 4-5in?

plenty convict, hrp, sajica, cutteri any cryptoheros

curviceps would also be a good choice...or keyhole cichlids...kribensis...

rams, apistogramma, nannochromis transvestitus

yeah dont want convicts unless i could find some pink ones, but arent they bad with plants? will def look into the others though thanks for the suggestions, i saw some jewel cichlids at petsmart do they stay small enough, anyone got pics of theirs? or if you have pics of any of the listed cichlids that would be great (i am looking them up but always love seeing others fish in actual tanks)

really like the sajicas and apistogrammas, what are the temperaments of these fish and how easy are they to breed?

My cutteri got pretty large, too large for a 20L. Just a heads up.

 

[Sarah88]

thanks for the heads up yeah i think im going to do either a sajica pair or an apistogramma pair though kind of leaning towards sajicas at the moment they are quite the lookers for such a small cichlid

anyone have experience with these? anyone have pics?
