Having cichlids defo helps with the pellet training IMO they soon discover its get there first or get nothingI've got the bright red jewel cichlids in with my 8" jar . Those little cichlids stand there own .. Jar shows aggressive behavior the jewels back him out . I'm hoping that this socialization will pay off and increase his tolerance to tank mates moving forward .
Another benefit the jewels helped pellet train my Jar

I'm not sure jewels will hold there own once the jar hits 12"+ they just don't get big enough if he's not ignoring them by then you may have to re-think tankmates or they'll start to disappear lol
