what are some easliy breedable cichlids that would work in a 20g or 55 gallon tank besides convicts??
 
In a 55g you could do Mayans (Cichlasome Uropthalmus)
They bred a week or so after i added them to the tank, and are continuing to breed every 3-4 weeks
 
In a 55g you could do JD's or Sal's
 
My friend breeds Venustus in his 55. Seems really easy. He has two adult females and one adult male.
 
if you want to use the 20 red jewels breed like crazy. there a african cichlid but look real nice and very easy to breed. just get a male and female. presto
 
A lot of people also do Jewel cichlids in a tank that size. I know they're Africans but so are venustus. Many good suggestions here though.
 
A pair of Kribs for the 20..salvini's for 55. Easiest? JD's and Firemouths.
