Keyhole cichlids

Do you folks think you could keep a pair in a 20 gallon long?

I see no problem in it, I would plant it though.

Can you have a tank that is not planted? :)

Thanks for the input.

LOL, I bet you already know this, but I would add 2-3 caves to provide territory and cover.

Yeah you can definately keep a pair in a 20. Try a planted SA style tank for best results... Wouldn't keep anything else in it besides maybe cories... the keyholes will only get to be about 4''

Mine love to hide in flower pots.As far as planting,I don't think it is essential.Mine are in a lightly planted tank.But fake or no plants should be fine as long as there is some type of cave.Is it a 20L or 20H?

They are great little fish!
Good Luck!

LOL,I misunderstood that!
No,I don't think you can :)

I was just curious about the tank being a long or a high.I think a pair would be fine in either.Keep us posted with your amazing pics.
