Kribenis would be nice,I have my pair in a ten gallon.
Kribenis- http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1350
Keyholes and Kribensis need a bigger tank in my opinion. You could try a small colony of the diminutive Neolamplrologus shelldwellers from Lake Tanganyika.
i say 1 kribensis they are beautiful cichlids and ram cichlids and can be kept with other peaceful fish like danios,tetras,barbs,rainbow fish but ur pretty limited to wat u can add honestly i will give u a mix i think is suitable oh well here goes- 1 kribensis cichlid,2 ram cichlids,4 cherry barbs,1 dwarf gourami,4 cory catfish,2 oto catfish,6 neon tetras and 5 black neons that would be a good mix in ur tank with some live plants and a few small caves. good luck mate
One of my friends has a pair of thomasi cichlids — a small species of West African river cichlid. They’re an attractive species that hasn’t been mentioned yet and you could keep a pair in a 15g. They also seem nice and hardy, as opposed to rams which have always been finicky for me.
Please don’t follow the advice of the answer that lists the suggestion to keep rams, neons, corys, barbs, gouramis, etc. in your 15g. Your tank is much too small for that LONG list of fish.
Definitely too much listed for your size tank by that other guy. Thomasi cichlids are really nice, so I’ll give another vote for them. Though I’m really partial to Apistogrammas. Don’t judge them by how they look in the store…they’re gorgeous once you give them a tank to a pair, and condition them a few weeks. Blue rams are another good choice for that size tank.
Tanganyikan shell-dwellers are a definite winner. There are a few species that are small enough to keep an entire colony, and the setup can be rather entertaining with a floor full of shells.
In my opinion, if you’re looking to do a pair, avoid Kribensis, keyholes, and bolivian rams. These all get just a bit too large for your tank.
alot just look them up most dwarf cichlids are shell dwellers
