besides my angelfish, i know nothing about cichlids in general... but i was wondering how aggressive most of them were, and if there were any that were small enough and calm enough to be kept in a 55 community tank? or any small enough to start a cichlid tank in a 30?
 
cool. i just looked up some profiles on badman's tropical, and i was also wondering about electric yellows and kribensis?

Krib's would be fine in a 30, but you would need a 55 or larger for a group of yellow Lab's.
It wouldn't be a good idea to mix the two regardless of tank size though. Krib's are river fish, Lab's are rift lake fish with different water chemistry preferences.
 
alright, thankss. would it be alright to put a krib or two in my 55 community?
 
Shouldn't be any problems if the stocklist in your signature is current. If you want a breeding pair get 5-6 juvies then swap off the extras after you have an established pair.
 
mkay, thanks. :)
 
Could look into Apistogramma's as well.

I have an Apistogramma Agazziz in my 30, I also have a German Blue ram in there.

So far no problems, but most people would advise against them in the same tank.
