I have 12 Tiger Barbs and a Krib pair that get along great that I want to move to a 55G. I would like to add another Cichlid or 2, but have some compatibility/stocking questions. My hopes are for the following in any combination...1-2 Severum, 1-2 Blood Parrots, 1-2 Firemouths, or any other suggestions you may have that would be compatible. I will be able to go to a 75-90G at some point, but the budget for the near future is a 55G. Thanks for your suggestions.

that many blood parrots and severum combined with what you already have might be a little too much. You could add smaller cichlids, like the firemouth, but I would stick with another type of African (non-rift lake) cichlid, like buffaloheads (Steatocranus casuarius

I may have been unclear in my post...I wanted to see if I could add 1 or 2 of either/or the Severum, Blood Parrot, or Firemouth TOTAL in addition to my current stocking, not 1-2 of each...or, as you listed, any other suggestions. Thanks.

sorry about that, I misread your post. I don't see much of a problem adding a firemouth in there, maybe a severum, but my concern there would be the adult size.
