Re: choosing fish for a smaller tank

For a 100L tank, you could consider apistogramma or kribensis - like Cobyx mentioned. Ram cichlids are another option, or even a checkerboard cichlid, though they do need pretty low pH, around 5.6.

When my jewels grow up, they'll probably outgrow the 25 gallons, I've heard it's recommended 20 gallons for one, then 10 gallons for each extra one you add.
