Dwarf Cichlids With Normal Cichlids

[pinkdolphin_113]

i am getting a 4 foot fish tank for christmas and was planning on stocking it with my three current angels (1 black, 2 silvers), 2/3/4 blue rams, anf 2 fire mouth cichlids. i am going for the amazonian biotope lol but would this work? i've kept rams with angels before and had no problems but i've read that the firemouth cichlids can be abit aggressive.

thanks

I say try it, but i dont think that the ram's and the angels will make it. My firemouths very posotively evil. But, try what you want!

You will have to make sure that you have a pair if you are only keeping 2 Firemouths. I tried keeping just 2, and one will always become super dominant and attack everything else. He never attacked my Rams though, I think they might be too small for them to consider a threat.

If you get the Firemouths, get 6 juveniles and wait for them to pair off or get 5 or more and keep them all. I ended up getting 6 Firemouths total and that worked out great. The only problem might be not enough space for all the Firemouths and the Angels, but I say its worth a shot.
