    Um none. Tanks to small they need a 55gallon plus. Also cichlids can be housed togthere no other fish. If you get a bigger tanks I go with yellow labs and 1 male 4 females or acei. But you have to research alot and see what can go together. And it is always good to over stock cichlids a bit less aggression.

    No cichlids are perfect fish to be stored a 10 gallon. The Kenyis could desire to be stored in numbers to maintain the aggression down. additionally they can attain 5 or 6 inches. A 40 gallon may be the smallest i could save African Cichlids in.

    only cichlids you can put in that tank are a few shell dwellers. if you want aggressive ones then you need at least 55 gallons

    Are you aware there are 30.000 species of cychlids. You'll have to be more specific.

    I like the green terror, Oscars are pretty popular, as are angels. Don't mix these 3 BTW.
