I'm thinking they are more likely an acara of some sort rather than a Green terror?
 
Its definately not a gold saum (GT) as the colouration/body shape isnt right. Doesnt look like an acara either to me anyway.
 
I'm no expert but it looks very similar to my Sheepshead Acara (Laetacara curviceps)

Must be a sheepshead/smiling/flag acara....

In which case he/she is in a 90g with a Blue acara, 2 firemouths a Bolivian Ram (May have to move him as probably too aggressive tankmates???) a Frontosa & a Reed fish....

1) Do you think i need to remove this fish to prevent him being bullied to death

2) Should i also remove the Ram?

3) Do you think i can add any more to the tank and if so any suggestions for some more cichlids.... I really like the look of the Blue JD
