okay i got a 55 gallon and am currently cycling this bad boy so... after alot of deliberation and reading i have decided on-

-1 firemouth cichlid
-1 convict cichlid
-1 jewel cichlid
-1 Kissing gourami
-1 bristlenose pleco

is that too much? there are so many opinions in various literature and almost every person i have spoken to contradicted the other so i wanted to pass it on to you guys. now if theres room how much more do you think i could fit in there? any schooling species that are compatible with those fishys?

wasnt sure were to post this but considering my main focus is cichlids i thought it appropriate :) though if your answers to my last question included an inferior non-cichlid species that would be appreciated

I think the either the Jewel is going to kill everything. Also some are African and some are SA or CA... Pretty sure they have different parameter requirements as well... Someone who knows more should be alone shortly
