Hi again I have a 30 gallon tank and I'm going to try to turn it in to to a cichlid community. I'm going to start almost from scratch. I will start with 1 Female Krib, 1 Clown Pleco and possibly 3 cories if they are compatible.

Can I put in any of these fish species with the mix?:

Salvin's Cichlid ( my all time fave fish )
Firemouth Cichlid
Rainbow Cichlid
Keyhole Cichlid
Male Krib
Jewel Cichlid

Or you could give me suggestions.
Don't mention gouramis, I went through 2 losses in the last 2 weeks because of my 3 jack *** lyretail swordtails.
 
Think I would try for the male Krib to form a pair - not sure if the tank would be big enough for more than a pair of cichlids but think other people could suggest better. Though on a recommendation if you get the keyholes I absolutely love them, sometimes a bit timid but if you get a good male his fin extensions are amazing very personable fish and never had any problems with them the male could be a bit nippy sometimes but very rarely. Not afraid to tell you if there is something wrong in the tank either as they will turn dark when stressed.
