If you could only have a 20 gallon long tank?

[Rivers2k]

I know we all dream of bigger tanks and bigger or more fish but as I was doing tank maintenance last night, it was taking longer than normal, I was think what if I got rid of everything except my 20 long. This is purely hypothetical I am not getting rid of anything but it was interesting to think about. I chose 20L because I feel its the bare minimum that could still house a cichlid (my preference in fish are cichlids). 20l is also the smallest tank I have.

So if you could only have a 20 long and could only have 1 or 2 fish what would it or they be?

My choice would be my L200 green phantom pleco and one of my male platinum Honduran Red Points.

German Blue Ram was actually the other fish I was toying with in my head. I don't know of another fish with more color and more attitude in such a little package

Just one of each? Both need to be in schools. Have to pick 1 or max 2 fish.

Only 1 or 2 fish total? I thought you mean 1 or 2 types

This is tough...I guess for a 20g I'd got with a keyhole and red tail black shark

It is tough thats what makes it fun. I was racking my brain with different scenarios last night.

Keyholes are nice.
