Question
I have a 30 gallon tank and i wanted to have come green terrors and cobalt blue zebra fish but i heard they grow to big for my tank.  So what type of cichlids grow smaller so i can get them in my tank??

Answer
Hi Brody,
  There are over 2300 different species of cichlids and hundreds of them would fit the bill.   Personally, I like kribensis, a cichlid from West Africa.
