What else is in there?
They normally work in community tanks but if they breed things like guppies might not do to well.

it will just be the fish from my 60L (signature) and maybe some tetra. i have another post which brought this up and now not sure if 90L if big enough for keyholes and other fish.
thanks

You might get away with it but i think Bolivian rams or apistogramma would be a better choose.
Something like
8 leopard danios
2 dwarf gourami
6 bronze corys
3 platties
3 (1male 2females) apistogramma or 2 rams (1male 1female)

yeah i think it would probably be best, i do like the look of the rams. do cichlids need to go into a well established tank or can they go in a relatively new one?
thanks

Aslong as the filter is cycled they shouldnt have any problems with a new tank.

They'll be fine I had a pair in my 100litre community and they were just a little shy of all the movement in the tank was all.
