Are there any cichlids small enough to be in a 12 gallon tank?

Michael R wants to know:


I’d like to start my first cichlid fish tank. I have a 12 gallon aquarium. Are there any small cichlid species that are good beginner fish that will work?

    Checkerboard Cichlid, Ram, Kribensis, African Shell Dwellers, and Apistogramma species.

    three-striped dwarf cichlid
    nijssen`s dwarf cichlid
    these both only grow to 5cm`s( 2 inches) these would be ok for a 12 gallon tank it depends in which ones you want to keep good luck with your choices
