Default Options for a 20L?

I setup a 20L (20gal "long") at work recently, currently cycling. Any
cichlids that would do ok in this smaller tank? What type and how
many? Otherwise, I may just go community. Thanks.

neutral pH, you could go with pair of Jewels, pair of Kribs, pair of Flag
cichlids, couple pair of rams, apisots, etc.
One pair. ;-)

Hard water, high pH, you could do an pair of shellies like Lamprologus brevis,
or a community of Lamprologus multifasciatus. You could do a pair of
Neolamprologus brichardi or any of their kin. Maybe a pair of Julidochromis
transcriptus or Julidochromis dickfeldi.
The possiblities are endless.

I might go the Jewel route. One Pair My other thought was to get a
school of tiger barbs. I hear they're cool, although not cichlids thanks

Is this a 20L or a 20Gal Tank ????? You mentioned both in your initial

Post.

I put "20Gal long" in for clarification. Just one tank

I understand the confusion, as I believe only us Americans use gallons where the
rest of the world uses liters. A 20L is a 20 gallon tank. But it's longer and
has more surface area than the normal 20 gallon tanks. Typically, you see it
abbreviated as 20L.
