cichlids

[irjason]

hi i have a 55 gallon community tank with

2 clown loaches
2 angel fish
2 silver sharks
3 sword tails
1 albino rainbow shark

and i was wondering what cichlids i could put in their

I would stay with Dwarf cichlids like Rams, Keyhole , and Kribensis Cichlids ;D

Keyholes arn't dwarf cichlids. They're peaceful though, so you could put them in there. A pair of severums would be ok, but i'd stick with a few more angelfish.

Well, keyholes only get a couple inches so that is what i say for Dwarfs

Oscars  ;D (nah )

Best bet would be the apisto, which are usually labled as dwarf cichlids. Other than that, shell dwellers are probably the safest bet.

I've seen keyholes 5-6inches, they ain't dwarf! Shell dwellers need different water Dylan! (wtf?)

Seriously though, you mentioned you were getting a couple of other species in another post, too many different types of fish doesn't look as good. Just my OPINION!
