If you do a dwarf cichlid it wouldn't be fully stocked
I'm not saying it does, but I'm just saying if you do something like a gbr u could add a school of neons.
You don't have to cycle the tank before adding fish, just transfer some establish filter media and test for toxins frequently for the first few weeks and do water changes if needed.
jewel cichlids look like the dollar sunfish(i knew this before i read the article,i saw the pic and went"that looks a lot like a jewel cichlid!!"),and reach something liek 5.5 inches
1,maybe 2 would probably be good. if you wre to go the jewel cichlid route,i would only get one,because you dont want 2 malesThey are good looking fish. Would they be okay by themsleves in the 20 gal long? I dont know where you could buy dollar sunfish either. I was thinking something of cichlid type because of their colors
User said:Thanks for all the help! Jewel cichlid is a good option even if it gets to 6"? Would a Maingano Cichlid be fine? Its says they only grow to 3 to 4". I think they may be similar to the Electric blue Cichlid but I am not sure.
