Well aswell as the graval you would need a tank. IMO not much smaller than 55G if you want to have a nice varity of cichlids and when choosing a tank go for the lenght as the most improtant aspect of the tank. A good filter probably an external one like a fluval 305 (im no good with Ehiem models). A heater. Alot of rock for the fish to hide in and swim around. Then you can worry about fish.

Have a look and see what you like. Then we can advise you properly.
But i may have just typed all of that for no reason if you turn round and say you want a pair of kribs.
