Smaller Size Tank, Not Sure Of Fish.

[Stoo.]

Hi all, I have recently aquired a 100L tank, dimensions 76cm x 36cm x36, being LxBxH.
 
Now I have kept fish for a few years but I know next to nothing about cichlids.
 
So I turn to you. I was thinking malawian? But having done a small bit of research I fear that most may be too big.
 
So here's the question (and I'm sure you're sick of these) what would you suggest I could keep in a tank of this size?
 
Any help is appreciated

A male/female pair of kribensis would be nice. I've kept them in 20 gallons and they thrived, even mated.

 

 

[Questions?]

apistogramma, kribensis, ram cichlid, checkerboard cichlid (they need really low ph about 5.6 or something)

I second kribensis.

Shelldwellers from Lake Tanganyika.

Thanks for the replies, I'm now thinking of moving my tetras from my 60L into the 100L and having the 60 as a fidler crab set up. Still not decided but looking into options still.

What tetra's do you have?
 
Personally I think if you go for a little south american tetra thing you could easily put a pair of Laetacara curviceps (dwarf flag cichlid) in there!
 
I think they're gorgeous and have an unusual shape, when they're showing off to each other they're even more beautiful!
 
There are some I've had:

 
I have found that they can be a bit aggressive if the pair isn't bonded so maybe get a group, wait for a pair and remove the others. Other than that they're really easy to look after and well get along swimmingly with tetra's. A really easy intro into south American dwarves

You could have quite a few options with tanganikan cichlids
