I would like to know what your personal experiences with the FireMouth Cichlid and if they are manageable in a 180 gallon with: 5 4"silver dollars, a 7" turquoise severum, 19 inch Fire eel, 9"Sorbium lima, and a 5"Jack Dempsey?

should be fine, they act pretty much like your jack.
well, more so like the severum with a little more attitude. Anyways, get a few and enjoy them.

Sounds good!
Your Lima will eventually eat them. Perhaps the fire eel as well, as the females won't get too big. Otherwise, should be fine. Firemouths are less agressive than convicts, but can be nasty. My 4" male right now pushes all 4 of my Midas, who are all about 6-7" and way thicker. Rather surprises me. If you were here, I would GIVE you my pair!
