Goldfish Girl Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 a twenty gallon tank is pretty small for most cichlids. you might want to look at shell dwellers, neolamprologus ocellatus, to name one. even though they average out at about two inches, they have enough attitude to keep anyone entertained. you get anywhere within their shell when you are cleaning and they will keep on biting you until you leave. it doesn't matter to them your hand is countless times bigger. if you don't nessesarily want africans try rams or the genus apistogramma, "apistos" as they are called in the hobby. most will be suitable for a twenty gallon tank.
