Thank You.

I have a rainbow shark in a 95 gallon tank with a 9" red oscar and two 3" female convicts. The rainbow is ignored completely by the oscar and the convicts just slowly swim behind the rainbow when they want it to move out of their way. So far, there has been no sign of aggression. They have been living together for about six months. The rainbow was very aggressive to the other fish in tank until the female convicts were added. It also gets a little anxious when the pleco comes out of hiding at dusk, but no real aggression. I am not saying it will work for the cichlids you have mentioned, but it has been working for me.

95 Gallon Quarter Cylinder Tank
400 GPH Emporer Power Filter

1 9" Red Oscar
2 3" Female Convict Cichlids
1 3" Red-finned Shark (Rainbow)
1 3" Male Three-spot Gourami
1 5" Non-common Pleco
12 Baby Convicts (That the Oscar is ignoring and not eating but hopefully the lobster will)
