Cichlids in community tank

ArkyLady · Dec 3, 2002

Are there any cichlids that are suitable for a generally peaceful community tank setting? These look like very interesting fish, but most seem to be quite aggressive.

Thanks!

I haven't heard of any.

firemouths, angels, discus.... there are more.

I totally forgot angels, I don't think discus willd o goo din communitys because they are GENERALLY shy and requare exact wtaer specs.

I'm sure some small cichlids...like the apistos, kribs, and rams. It might have to be a somewhat selective community...

Rainbows and Keyhole would also be good. Depending on what fish are in with them firemouths can get aggresive. I also agree that discus require very soft water and a much higher temperture then most community tanks.

Rams would make very good community cichlids

I have a firemouth and he is fine. He is the 3rd I have had so far. If you don't have any small fish(neon tetras) then you should be ok with a firemouth. Angels also do very well I have two of those as well. Very pretty fish.

i know a few people (and some breeders) who keep schools of tetras and cories in with their discus....

i had my firemouths in with tiger barbs and some cories and ottos with no problems.

I've had the best luck with Angels, kribs, keyholes, and most dwarf cichlids(apistos, rams).
