I'm looking for a very specific fish to live and breed in my 20 gallon high. The tank is currently blackwater and i would prefer to keep it that way, so I am looking for a softwater cichlid that gets no bigger than 5-ish cm and would happily live as a pair or trio in a 20. It doesn't have to be...
If my apisto would be happier in a group i have other tanks i could use as grow out, but if he is fine alone then I wouldn't go out of my way to breed them.
Hi I have recently upgraded my tank to a 250l which has dwarf pencilfish and 1 panduro, and I was thinking about getting some more apistos.

apistogramma ortegai (one female left)
apistogramma hongsloi
apistogramma macmasteri
apistogramma agassizii - super red and double red
apistogramma baenschi
apistogramma panduro
apistogramma diplotaenia

It's not going to be a breeding tank, but nor is it strictly a display tank. I'm happy to scape in a way that prevents line of sight and I already have leaf litter alder cones ect. I'd like a pair of trio of fish that will act as a centrepiece for the tank
