   Ok - to be honest there really aren’t any Cichlids that are recommended for a 15 gallon tank. That’s really small for Cichlids. However, it you really want to try them, I’d recommend either a pair of Keyhole Cichlids or Kribs. Both are small and relatively passive. The big problem with Cichlids in small aquaria is that they can be very territorial and consequently aggressive. They like to have a fair amout of space as their territory so a 60 liter just doesn’t provide sufficient room. If you decide to keep one or two in your tank I’d keep very few other fish. Maybe a couple tetras. Don’t push it on the numbers. Good luck.

   You can do some Lake Tang cichlids, or shell dwellers. Africans and CA/SA’s won’t really work.
