Not too small for Africans at all. Just need the right types. Time for our African keepers to speak up.

Several africans can go in your tank! Several, Several, Several different types! there is only a couple that cant really... lol..... Now Did you mean, american cichlids, the ones that get huge?? cause africans usually stay 3-5" in size.

What kind of africans were you thinking? if you want allot of color I would go mallawii, like a tank of mbuna, (bright yellows, oranges, and blues) or Peacocks (Split color fish like blue face yellow body, or red body) So.... really depends on what your looking for... but usually a 30 gallon is enough to keep a bunch of africans happy. :)

you could easily fit a large group of demasoni (pombo rocks are the smaller variety i believe) or white top hara, or a group of saulosi. all easily aquired either through larry beck :p, goblue, or APFP in burien. GL figuring it out but dont count africans out so soon.
