Of what size? Rams are very peaceful and small. Keyholes are mid-sized and peaceful. Nics are fairly large and reasonably peaceful. Angels are usually peaceful and vary in size. Spinosissimus are mid-sized and peaceful. Firemouth are a little larger, and vary in temperament. Rainbows are mid-sized and pretty peaceful.

Don't know about Discus...It is a 150 high with an 7" Aust. Arowana, Persii (?), and a Blue Severum. The Pearse is 10" and the Severum is 6".

Thanks,
Steve

Blue Acaras tend to also be pretty peaceful. They are also a very nice looking Cichlid. They grow to about 7" or so in size full grown.
