I don't know a thing about cichlids but I would presume that it's okay. Don't take my word for it though, wait for some one with cichid experience to come along. You may want to try posting in the cichlid section.

Senegal should be fine with the fish but I'd be concerned about space.

ye thats what i was wondering about it is 4foot long so is long 4 a 55. also ill get them all at a young age so have time to see how they will get on will they bother bottom dwellers? cheers

Shouldn't bother bottom dwellers, actually when small bichir are quite feeble and I'd be more concerned about the others bullying it at first. They do grow fairly quickly though and will eat smaller or weak fish. My senegals when I had a group managed to dispose of 3 rainbow fish (2x bosemani and 1 x red)

ah no would it get on with clown pleco, giant dainos and maybe some type of piticus catfish the rest will be large cichlids ? cheers
