Default 20g planted...Cichlids? *pics!*

Hi hi hi! One month ago, I transferred the contents of my 10g to a new 20g. I added more plants, substrate (fluorite black), water (duh), and a few tetras.

I'm interested in moving my small school of tetras to the newly unused 10g.

I'd like to keep a breeding pair of cichlids in this 20g. I've been testing levels, and am stable enough to add new fish at this point. Plants, fish, and tank are thriving! I plan to remove the moss covered "tree" in the back right corner, and replace with a stack of rocks to give a cave hiding spot.

What are my options as far as keeping dwarf cichlids? I've read up on GBRs, but am terrified to even try to keep a pair alive. It seems that they have a high mortality rate, and can be picky about pristine water conditions.

So, all in all, what pairs of cichlids would you recommend I keep in this 20g?





Thanks!
Nate
