kribensis are good. many afrricans need a very large tank with lots of hiding places to get along. kribies are OK in a smaller tank. they will breed and live peaceably. they are pretty, too.
There are a large variety of Cichlids that will do well together in a large community tank.
All cichlids are aggressive as this is their nature, some of the more tolerant ones are Electric Yellows, Blue Dolphins, Blue Zebras and Acei.
We have had quite a bit of luck keeping all these fish within one aquarium, allowing them groups of 4 or more of the same genius.
Rek is right i have had cichlids for many years both south american and african and the african are by far the most aggressive.When it comes to these fish it really is trial and error you can never really say what kind of fish will fit in with it.Many people say cichlids have the most personality out of any kind of fish therefore you can’t predict what kind of fish they will allow as its roomate my oscar wants no friends as he has proved it by killing any oscar we put in with him.If you have the money to spend you can try all kinds of others just remember cichlids are big fish that need plenty of room,never mix south american and african and there is no semi aggressive cichlid so dont be surprised if other fish dont work out you will find dead fish in your tank if your cichlid is not happy with your selection.

None, that wouldn’t be their nature.

electric yellow/blue. But all cichlids need a larger tank so it won’t work if you have a bowl or small setup.
