(please no hate parrot posts)
1)im currently about ot buy a 55 gallon and want to buy a blood parrot cichild and was wondering 1 if i could put a Leopard Ctenopoma or 2 in with him and a few 1-1/2 angels and maby a Opaline Gourami or a Pearl Gourami.
basically how aggressive would these Leopard Ctenopoma's be to the parrot cichild or the gourami's?

2)can u put frogs in tanks with the wanted tank set up for my 55gallon tank stated above

3) what other kind of water creatures can u put into a tank with the above fish and what are the pros and cons


Thank you in advance

I'm not sure about the fish compatibility. You definitely couldn't put a dwarf frog in there, but a clawed frog would probably do well with any of those species if it were big enough.

I could be wrong but from what I've been told the parrott cichild can be aggressive and they get really big. I think you would have a problem with putting them in with the Angels and Gouramis.

I have no idea about the Leopard Ctenopoma's but from what I read they can be pretty agressive too and they also get fairly big (that was from what I read not first hand knowage).
