At the moment i have some rams, a small angelfish and some rainbow cichlids in my tank along with a few other fish.

I would really like to add 2 keyhole cichlids and 2 sunburst cockatoo's to my tank, i have done quite abit of research on these two types of fish and apparently they are quite peaceful and can be placed in a community tank.

I was wondering whether the keyholes and the sunburst cockatoo's would get along with the other cichlids that i have in my tank.

Thanks for reading and i hope to get some feedback.
 
I cant see that being too much of a problem. Nothing is 100% though

I would say that your tank is pretty full just now. The clown loaches will outgrow that tank, the Angel will be 6-8" full grown etc.....I dont think you should really add anything else.
 
i carnt see y u carnt have 2 keyholes as well it takes keyholes a long time to grow.
 
Same answer as before. You already have 2 species of cichlids and a lot of bottom dwellers that will competing with the Keyholes and Cockatoos for territory. It's not that I think you are overstocked, I just don't think these are the best choices for additions. Maybe just one of the two species you suggest but certianly not both.
 
You could also try festivums instead of keyholes, as they tend to stick to the upper levels more (IME). As for the cockatoo's I'd reccomend a trio 2 females to one male, they do better at these ratio's
