20 gal tank

[crittermom]

I am getting ready to re-do my 20-gallon tank. I put a certain type of water conditioner in it and everything died! So, I'm trashing everything in the tank and starting over. I want to put white gravel and marine-type decorations in it, to make it look marine-like without the hassle. I just love the cichlids, but from what I've been reading, can't put them into a tank that small. (I have no room, nor money!, for a larger tank!) What about the dwarf cichlids? Or anyone out there have any suggestions as to what I can put in there that look a little like salt-water fish? I'm new to this whole forum, and am just fascinated with what I'm reading.

not a dwarf cichlid , but look into peacock gudgeons/gobies

It's not a New World Cichlid but how about a pair of Kribensis?

A pair or trio of Dwarf cichlids can work in a 20 gallon tank. Look at a pair of Rams, a pair or tiro of Apistograma, or a pair of Kribs. Do some research and learn about the different kinds and decide what sounds good to you.
