Small planted tank stocking ideas

[driftwood]

I am getting a small tank, I think its going to be a 29 bowfront and its going in my kitchen. Lots of natural sunlight and I want to make this tank mostly about the plants. However, I want a pair dwarf cichlids in the tank at some point. My ideas are Laetacara dorsigera, Ivanacara Adekota or some type of Apistogramas. Does anyone have any really cool small cichlid species that will do well in a heavily planted tank? Just looking for some suggestions. Thanks

I have a 20 gallon planted and have the same question.

Well maybe we'll both get the answers we want then. I am thinking Ivanacara Adaketo for my set up but I'm hoping to get a few more suggestions.

Rams, Flagtails, Apistos, or Kribensis

I wonder if a pair Sajica would destroy the plants?

Go for the ivanacara. They are awesome little fish.

Go for apistogramma cacatuoides, there colors would look great against a dense planted tank
