Okay, so you can pretty much assume I know next to nothing about cichlids. I have been researching them a bit and have come across information that varies greatly. I'm talking about the ones that generally get 4-7 inches in length here, none of the big guys. I've heard from a few people that you can fit 5 or 6 of them into a 30 gallon with no problems whatsoever, but then I've heard from just as many people that they need a minimum of 55-75 gallons or bigger. I'm not planning on starting up a cichlid tank anytime soon, but I figure it's better to do research now than a week before I put fish in.
