rainbow shark with cichlids

[Catlid]

would one rainbow shark do well with a african cichlid tank? For a 55 gallon.

when i worked in our pet store we had one in our cichlid tank and they would pick on it once in a great while.

it might work but you have to watch out for the africans picking on it.

but it does come down to how many gallons there are. It's not always sure fire taht this works but it has been very accurate at times.

My rainbow shark would only beat on things that wouldn't stand up for themselves. My (female) paradise fish, in the long run, caused his death. I don't think that they can take africans... as africans usually stand up for themselves.
