Or even liveaquaria.com, they have the option of suitable fish for a certain tank size i believe. I think its on the right handside of the screen.

As stated in a different thread, don't go with the Africans. They require a completely different setup than what's being discussed.
Yep, they should be fine with the RTS and probably vice versa. You'll have some big egos in the tank, so just keep an eye on things as they all mature.
You're right about egos. I set up a 55g for a friend with an RTS, a Firemouth, some cories, and platies. RTS defended one half and the Firemouth patrolled the other.

Pleased you went with Firemouth..just one? Would you tell us how big your fish are and keep us up to date on how they are doing..very interested in firemouth behaviour. Whoops.., Sabina didn't post that.. Fishaddict, how did that turn out?
Both, the RTS and Firemouth, grew to about 5" and were doing well. Not my tank though and it's been a while since I've seen them. Anyway, no shredded fins or anything, just respect.

Thanks, Jason..I don't intend to mix mine with anything, but I'm thinking of trying to spawn a pair of Firemouths soon. Any advice? Would I be looking at some behaviour comparable to Red Jewels? Haven't bought Meeki yet.
Firemouths aren't that aggressive and tend to be bullied by other cichlids, however, when breeding they go in protection mode and will defend their brood.
