My pair live with Angelfish and Bosemani Rainbowfish - all get on okay, pretty much ignore each other with no problems, although have noticed the Parrots swimming quite happily with the Angels the past week - weird, lol

Well you heard wrong.There are cichlids that dont do well with tankmates but those tend to be the minority.

I keep mine with angel fish, rainbow cichlids (herotilapia multispinosa), boesmanni rainbowfish, and plecs.

Parrot fish are cichlids. So if you believe cichlids cannot be kept with other fish, you shouldn't bother asking your initial question

My point was actually just to say that there are MANY different cichlids. If you do a quick search of the forums and look up Neolamprologus multifasciatus, for example, and then consider oscars, angelfish, discus and rams - and then look at the ones you probably have in mind - things like green terrors, mbuna etc, you'll appreciate just how much variety there is within this group of fishes.

i had one for a while in a community tank and it destroyed a guppy and so i put it in my malawi tank where it lived for the next 3 months when it died when i had power outage at night.he held his own with the malawi and even chased them around.he was about 3-4 inches and so were they

Just a quick list of cichlids that can mix with parrots IMO;
Golden severums,
Convicts,
Frontosa,
Eletric yellow cichlid,
Blue acaras,
Firemouths,
Oscar & maybe
Maybe GT /JD

Dithers & Non cichlid tank mates
Silver dollars,
ballas,
Nearly all rainbow fish,
Large gouramis,
Large tetrass
and most fast non aggresive fish above 3'

Ideal catfishes ;
Platydorus costatous (Raphael catfish),
Hardy plecos,
and i don't really know of any more because i havn't mixed them.

|Hope it helps a bit.
