Joseph C wants to know:
i have a 55 gallon tank with guppies and neon, glolight, and black neon tetra. I would like to know what kind of cichlid i could have in a tank with these fish

maybe a blue ram. Most cichlids would eat the others. You might be able to do a frontosa

None. Most cichlids grow to an average of 6 inches, which means your guppies and tetras are going to become fish food. There are some cichlids that grow over a foot long. Cichlids are aggressive fish and will more then likely kill your other fish.

Kribs, apistos and rams will do well in your tank, and are peaceful as far as cichlids go. They also stay pretty small.

There are plenty of cichlids:
Blue Rams
Bolivian Rams
Keyholes
Bandits
Kribs
Apistos
(maybe) Angel - some are OK with neons, others not so good

i really wouldn’t suggest it but these fish like blue rams and angels should be ok (it really depends on the personality of those two breeds).
