your tank isnt too small for cichlids, do some research on the dwarf cichlids.

No there not too hard to keep. Mine are fine with a pH of 7.6 and quite hard water. 20% water change once a week fed on a variety of foods - pretty easy to keep from my experience.

yes other fish aswell, just not anything particularly aggressive

thanks for info! that basically what im running now although my nitrates do creep to 40 a lot of the time!

make sure they dont, so plant are essential if you have high nitrates.
