Archocentrus Spilurus

[val]

Hey, all.
I've been looking through a cichlid book and found "very peaceful" describing Archocentrus Spilurus. What I'm wondering is if I add them to my tank of equal and larger sized fish, will the pair of cichlids fight each other or any other fish?

Just wanting to make sure the description is correct,
Valerie

P.S.
Do they eat crustaceans?
