Hi Guys,
Hope I am in the right section of the forum. If not I do appologise. My son (12) has a 180 litre fish tank. We used to have a variety of fish, but over the years some of them died. He is hoping to convert to a cichlid tank sowe have not beed replacing fish that died. We have left:
1 golden gourami(10cm)
1 clown loach (15cm)
1 cory
1 chinese loach (20cm)
1 pleco (7cm)
We could be waiting for a few years for all of them to die.... So I am thinking of introducing about 5 South-American Cichlids as I understand they are less aggressive then African ones. I watched some videos on youtube and people do mix cichlids with other fish. We had a look on the web and we are thinking of getting a mixture of firemouth and convicts.
Do you think they will be ok with my fish? I have plenty of hiding places. I would really appreciate your advice.
