I have had a community tank for the past couple months but I was looking for some fish with a little more personality. Mainly Dwarf Cichlids. I got a 20L from a friend and was wondering if there would be a problem keeping a pair of Rams and a pair of kribs in a 20L tank. I have read that both those fish do fine in my size tank, but will they have territory issues?
 
Yes. If you have a male and female krib...they will breed, and when they do, they'll kill the 2 rams. I'd pick one, or the other.

For the record, it's likely the kribs will terrorize ANY fish in the tank. My spawning pair killed 2 rummy nose tetra and a full grown SAE the first time they spawned.
 
20L is about a 5 gal. No way you can keep those fish in a tank that small, not even 1 of them. Sorry to bring in the bad news. :(
