Are there any dwarf Cichlids that are mouthbrooders? I have a 30 gallon and want to put some mouthbrooders in there.

All of your shell dwelling cichlids from Lake Tanganyika are, there is also Pseudocrenilabrus multicolour from Lake Victoria.

Actually most of the shell dwellers lay eggs in the shells or they wouldn't need shells to breed self-explanatory.

Daphnia are People Too.
I have never kept these guys before, but I know that Inca Stone Fish (Tahuantinsuyoa macantzatza) are mouthbrooders. I don't know of other small mouthbrooders off the top of my head except the Egyptian mouthbrooder (Pseudocrenilabrus multicolour) that Mogurako mentioned.
