What Kind Of Cichlids Can I Put With My Fish

[wpgfish]

i have a 30 gallon tank and in it is 2 silver dollars 1 bala shark and 5 zebra danios i was just wondering what kind of cichlids would be safe to add example cutteri. I might move the danios to another tank if it helps.

I think your tank is overstocked as it is. The shark will get too big and the dollars I think prefer to be in larger shoals, and again may get too big for your tank.

Both the bala and the silver dollars require much larger tanks, 55g for the silver dollars and 5ft 120+g for the bala sharks.

To answer the question of which cichlids are appropriate for your tank size, you are looking at cichlids along the lines of, dwarf species, bolivian rams, german blue rams, keyholes, apistogramma, curviceps, hondouran red points, convicts to name a few.
