hi I am thinking about progressing on to cichlids but only have space for around a 20-28 litre tank please could you help me, if this is an adequate size also what types to keep do I need fast flowing water etc
For a single pair of Blue Rams, a 10gal / 40l tank is the lower limit I think.
Most Cichlids just get too large and are too territorial for smaller tanks.
There are many, many other fish with interesting behavior that are more suitable for tanks that size. Badis, some Betta species and other small labyrinth fish come to mind.
