I am thinking at some point of starting a cichlid tank. Please check out my tank stock below. Do any of my current fish mix with cichlids?
THANKS!
 
i dont think so no. i know they will eat the guppies molliesand snails, well at least mine did, as far as i know cichlids only mix with cichlids from the same area.
 
Depends on the kind of cichlid! With way over 1000 species, it's kinda hard to tell :)

Maybe some dwarves...
 
You could get the dwarf cichlid's but the african's would not work with your current list. Any cichlids that would get large enough to eat the smaller fish, will do just that. There are some american or new world cichlids that might work for you like Rams or Apisto's. They stay small and I have them in a community tank with guppies.

Rams, german blue rams in particular would work.
