Hey experts (and I use that term loosely *BOUNCINGS )

I was thinking i've had my community tank up and running for a couple months now and its time for a change ..... ya....

I like the idea of keeping a nice Cichlid tank with lots of rock and maybe a big ol' ugly hunk of drift wood.

is it possible to do a nice cichlid tank with a 21G?... i was thinking of a couple of convicts.

Cheers,

You could do convicts, but if you get a pair, then they will breed. So it would be a bad idea to any other fish with them as they will get very agressive in breeding mode.
There are other cichlids that you could do....kribs, german blue rams, apistos etc

I was actually thinking of just keeping the two convicts....until I can afford to go to a much larger tank of course.
