Convicts are easy to breed and looks like the cichlid world is new to you.

How many gallons or liters is it?

I think that 2 foot is the normal for a 20 gallon. Personally, I say you go with a pair or trio of apistogramma or rams and have a school of tetras.

Agreed^ Rams would be very neat! And since they are Cichlids, they would be new to you.

Have you looked into Endlers at all? They are sorta like Neon Tetras, but are way more colorful and have a more complex body structure, which makes them look really cool!

ill say kribs

Kribs, Rams, Apistogramma. You could put a pair of most dwarf cichlids in there.

ill say kribs

The only thing with Kribs, is they get really aggressive and territorial when spawning. If there is not a breeding pair in the tank, then some Kribs would be okay.

Maybe not these then lol

Kribensis; they are really neat fish! I currently breed them, and they are fantastic fish, but they can, like I stated above, be very aggressive during breeding, which is nearly 100% of the time if you have a breeding pair. The other day I put my hand in the tank to move around some plants, and the male attacked my hand! lol. It did not hurt or anything, but it just goes to show how aggressive they get when spawning.

What kind do they have in?

Look exactly like this to me

I think that is an Apistogramma Agassizii. The picture is deffinately a male. I'm not sure on the color strain, though.

Im ging to have to do some research in to this fish before breeding them, id rather know as much as possible before rushing in to it...

Is £9 for a pair a fair price then?
