I just set up my 29g tank intending to get a few African Cichlids (3-4)

Theres:
*Crushed Coral Substrate
*Hang-On-Tank Power Filter
*Power Compact 55w 10,000K Lamp
*150w Heater
*Few Rocks I found in a creek and cleaned


I was wondering if any other community fish would be able to live (Safely) in a tank this size with the African Cichlids.
Any suggestions regarding the tank or fish would be appreciated.
 
Your tank is too small for any Malawi fish, so may I suggest Tanganyikans. A group of shelldwellers and a calvus would be nice.
 
Thanks for the tip.
Sounds cool. A community tank like that is what I am aiming for... [Peaceful Fish]
 
Your response implies you own Lake Malawi cichlids, correct? If so, no community fish will be recommended at the very least. These cichlids are aggressive and any community fish will not be able to handle repeated beatings. Furthermore, if anyone thinks a catfish will fit, I don't think synodontis catfish do as a 29 gallons alone does not provide sufficient hiding places for both synos and cichlids.
 
Right now, the tank is fish-less
I wanted to know about compatibility b4 i just put em in. I thought about a catfish maybe since they are bottom-dwellers and they might not have much reason to be bothered by a cichlid.
 
Good suggestions, even tho i like the other idea a lil bit better
Thanks for the advice
