Cichlids Fish Compatibility With Community

[EricTheEngstrom]

Are there any community fish that will do well in tank? I'm asking because I have a 55 gallon tank with community fish most at least 2.5 inches. Does size matter?

Really any cichlids. I know I should avoid the Oscar, had one with a buddy in his tank and that thing ate everything. I have a 3 inch fancy tail Molly, two gouramis one 2.5 inch the other 3 inches, a 2.5 inch platy (he's a little beast, chinese algae eater , 2 Dalmatian mollies roughly 2.5 to 3 inches, and a balloon Molly and tetra only two I'm worried about but can move them to separate tank.

a Ram?

Okay they are more of just territorial but won't search to bully or nibble on other fish?

They only get agressive when breeding which is approx once a month (if u get a pair). when i say agressive i just mean they chase away other fish from the choosen spot. ive never known mine to hunt down anything as such. i would say a ram or apistos would be ok with your tank
