I recently purchased a cichlid for my new 55 gallon tank, and after talking with one of the employees (very knowlegable) asked him what cichilds could go in a community tank. he pointed out that very few were suited for that, and they were all dwarf cichlids. He showed me a few, one that had a scientific name that started with an A. anyway, I was looking in another tank and my mother (who was also there) pointed out one she likes. The employee said that it was the type of cichlid he was talking about earlier. The tank we were looking at had a large gourami, an australian rainbow, jack damsy, and the cichlid i purchased. When I got home, I noticed he looked very much like a green terror. I'm very worried now for my other fish. Are there any type of cichlids that look a LOT like a green terror, but are peaceful? I wish I could post a pic, but i can't. It has wavy blue irredecent lines hear its mouth and irredecent dots on it's body, blue lips, 1 black spot in the middle on one side, and horizontal black stripes on it's head going down to it's back. it's only about 3". and hasent shown any real aggessive behavior. It's in with one 4" blue gourami, 6 congo tetras, and 4 albino tiger barbs.
Thanks!
Thanks!
