Largest Cichlid that Won't Eat Neons?

[spitz006]

Need something for my 90 gallon american community tank. I have lots of tetras, plecos, corys. And one small checkerboard cichlid. What is the largest cichlid I can throw in there that won't eat small tetras? I'm assuming something about the size of a Ram? What else?

Keyholes, Most of the dwarf cichlids should probably be ok.

Most fish are opportunistic omnivores, i think any cichlid would, given the chance. even with the dwarves I'd feel more comfortable with cardinals. But not nearly as comfortable as with a more deep bodied tetra.

Satanoperca Will more often than not ignore tetras . I’ve kept quite large satanoperca with black neons and never lost one .
I’ve also heard Uaru will ignore tetras but I have no first hand experience of this.

Severums will slurp them up like kids with candy beans

I also think keyholes would be the best choice for a 90 gallon.
I have a group of keyholes at the moment and I think they are a very underrated cichlid.

Yes they will... so much for them being vegetarians.
