Cichlid Question

[fakekerby]

Hi everyone,

i've never had a cichlid, and I don't know a lot about them, so this question may seem very daft!!

What, if any, cichlid's could I put in with a tropical community tank of Platys, Otos, Cories, Harlequins & Danios??

I know some cichlids aren't aggressive, but not sure which??

I really like their colours, and would love to get some, but obviously it's much more important to be sensible than jump the gun!!

Thanks to anyone who can help!

None from Lake malawi, tang or victoria sorry.. not only is aggression an issue, but they require different water params, diet ect..

not sure about kribs though..

As darrel said, most African Cichlids aren't going to work for you.

Some of the riverine species might work as well as some of the New World Cichlids. The size of your tank it going to be a factor as well.

Yep! If you can give us the size of your tank it'll help narrow it down.
