I know i want a green terror chichlid and a black convict cichlid.

I am new to all of this and have lots of questions. Seems like a really good, helpful group and im excited to get started and will post pics when my tank is setup.

Will those 2 fish mate?

Can i add a Pink Kissing Gourami with them?

What about some tetras?

Last question, how should i introduce them, which 2 or 3 should i put in the tank first?
 
Unfortunately a 30g is way too small for a Green Terror or a kissing Gourami. They get too big.

You could go with a female Convict and a Firemouth.

Or possibly a pair of Cons.

Larger tetras, tiger barbs, or rainbowfish will work with them. And a Bristlenose Pleco if you like.

I would add tetras first, and then cichlids a few days later

Provide various sized caves, wood, and plants to make them feel comfortable.

And PLEASE cycle the tank properly and do weekly 25% warer changes. Get a good drop style test kit for PH, Amonia, NitrITE and NitrrATE. I like API brand
