I'm going to be moving my cories from their 55G to a 90G and am thinking about adding some 4-6 rainbow cichlids. from what I've been reading they're mostly herbivorous so I'm not too concerned with the 2+ inchers, but am concerned about the pygmies and hasbrosus becoming snack food.
anybody try these guys together? am I wrong about them messing with the larger cories?
 
You might be ok, but even some herbivorous cichlids get tempted by a meaty snack.
If it were me I would stick w/ dwarf cichlids like rams or HRPs would work fine. Do the corries need a lower ph? If so then I would stick w/ SA dwarfs. There are a lot of nice apistos too.
