Keyholes

Keyhole cichlids best with ther cichlids or in a community with tetras etc

U cant add any fish which is peaceful with cichilds, because cichilds are very aggressive and can kill all the tetras.

so keep keyholes with teh cichlids not the tetras#

??

You cant keep keyhole cichlids with tetras, the tetras would be a snack for them! The only cichlids i have seen that you can keep in community tanks are blue rams which are dawf cichlids.

Keyholes have been considered as being "THE MOST PEACEFUL CICHLID of all"!! They get along fine with large peaceful cichlids such as Jurapari's, Severums, and Festivums. And some say can be trusted with very small rasboras and tetras. Males can become aggressive during breeding, however, they do little or no damage to other keyholes and tend to ignore smaller tetras and corydoras completely, even ones found swimming over the breeding site.

I imagine tank size plays a role as well, they are timid fish so give them lots of hiding spots.

keyholes are almost shy, definately not to be kept with more aggressive new world cichlids. keep with tetras, but they need V.good water.
