    I would go with the Appistogramma personally. They do best in the smaller tanks and are the least aggressive of the mix. Would be fine with one of those clay pots that look broken or any kind of cave.
    FW: 1 45gal, 1 40gal, 3 10gal, 3 30gal all community tanks of different species
    Sw: 1 55gal, 1 30gal show, 1 29gal show, 1 20gal and 2 10's

    couldn't agree more.
    I've owned rams, kribs, apisto's now, and out of those 3, the ones that were better off in a smaller tank (albeit it was a QT set up for 6 weeks) the apisto flourished more and enjoyed it.
