do you want African rift lake cichlids or central/ south American cichlids or just anything?
Cichlasoma sajica, spilurum, meeki
Pelvicachromis pulcher, subocellatus, humilis, taeniatus
Apistogramma cacatuoides, agassizi, trifasciata, etc
Nanochromis transvestitus or nudiceps
Orange chromides
Neolamprologus sp (shell dwellers)
Julidichromis dickfeldi, transcriptus

How many kribs would i be able to put into this tank?

 

[Colin_T]

I would probably just have a pr of kribensis in there

just a pair of kribensis and nothing else?

 

[Colin_T]

just a pr of kribensis and any other fish you want as long as they are not cichlids.

 

[LewisUK2008]

thanks for your help.
how many of any other fish could go with
them?

 

[Miss Wiggle]

i'd suggest you could have a pair of kribs then 2 shoals of smaller fish like tetras comfortably

would still leave room for you to add another shoal when the tank is mature or perhaps another feature fish if something catches your eye down the line.

Cichlasoma sajica, spilurum, meeki

I wouldn't reccomend any of those for a 20g. Even though this is irrelevant now as the OP has chosen kribs, I though I would clear that up incase anyone else reads this thread. They all get too big really for a 20g, unless it's 30"+ long, or preferably 36"+.

Isn't Kribensis an african cichlid?

 

[Colin_T]

yep kribensis are from Africa but come from soft acid water and not the hard alkaline water of the great rift lakes
