Please reply What community fish would you put in a 20 gallon tank with a male and female cichild?
Hobgob said:Yes what type of cichlids are you getting? Dwarf cichlids are the only ones you should put in it. I would probably go with 1 pair and a small school of something else. They will act as dither fish and allow your cichlids to chase them around. The school with have to be a fast and not fragile fish by the way. In my 35 gallon I got 6 gold barbs and 3 sterbai cories 1 sae 1 bnp and 2 kribs.
In my 29 gallon I had 2 kribs, 6 gold barbs, 2 sae. In a 20 I would probably use just the barbs and something to clean up. Maybe an otto
an sae is a siamese algae eater,a bnp is a bristlenose pleco,kribs are kribensis(a species of dwarf cichlid) and ottos are ottocinlus(a small algae eating catfish). all but the kribs eat algae,sae's eat hair algae and the other two eat primarily green algae. all but the ottos will normally eat prepared foodHi sorry. To be dumb what is a sae?,bnp?,kribs?,and an otto?
