Blue Acara compatability question.

[Leot]

Hey, just wanting to know if a blue acara will eat smaller fish, esp kuhli loaches...

I have a 160lt 30x18x18" tank and ive read it will be ok to keep one of these in there.. im interested in keeping a medium sized cichlid (single) with some other smaller fish.. so I need one that wont eat/kill/terrorize smaller fish like rams, kuhli loaches, ect.

Tank will be planted/have rocks with a sand substrate and an eheim 2213.

EDIT: If this fish is innapropriate/will eat other fish suggestions are welcome

It will be fine with loaches, what other fish do you have ine there?

I dont have a tank setup, ive got the tank, the filter is on its way and im just planning.. id like to keep kuhli loaches and a pair of rams.. a long with maybe a blue acara or some other larger (preferably cichlid) fish.

Cant see a problem. Should work out good.
