Chichlids in a 5 Gallon?

Are there any small varieties that would do OK in a 5 gal?

Well, could try One pair Dwarf cichlid such as Rams, Apistogrmma. Only one pair. If spawning take place, upgrade to biggger when possible. That how i ended up w/ fish room.
Since 5 g is small, must be on top of things as such small volume can foul up fast.

No on the dwarf species, they need at least a 10-20 (20 more preferable).
You can get one betta, or a couple guppies for that tank.
