Kym,
Other than fry, I can't think of a cichlid I'd keep in a 5 gallon.
Certainly not brichardis. It'd get ugly, and the corpses would be worse
than the show. I don't know about shell-dwellers, as i don't keep them.
The only fish I can think of in the scope of this list would be
Apistogramma borelli, or Apistogrammoides pucallpaensis.
