Beginner Cichlids?

[Chrs]

Could you list some species of cichlids that would fit in a 10-20 gallon tank that are good for a 13 yearold(on difficulty level)

I'm far from an expert but i think your tank is too small for any africans

Here you go, a couple of lists. As for ease of care, most if not all of the species listed are as easy as any "standard" community fish in terms of care. It's just that with most Africans they key is to carefully stock to avoid aggression issues and keep the higher PH and KH they require, and while your potential tanks are too small for any Lake Malawi species, you could easily keep some smaller Lake Tangs.
