Hey Guys i want to have a nice healthy community of firemouth cichlids with maybe a group of congo tetras or something but for right now lets just focus on the FM's
So how many could i have in this size tank of mixed sexes? I'm aware some will pair off and breeding is likely to occur but i'd separate the young from the parents soon after hatching and raise them in one of the 20 gal sponge filter tanks. So would multiple pairs be able to coexsist without any serious problems, but still allow me to see the classic "firemouth display" if you will lol Let me know what you guys thinks, Thanks!
 
Maybe 2 breeding pairs or a group of 6 or 7 individuals with some some Red Line Torpedo barbs... some Sword tails... create a very busy planted environment with branches and bogwood... that would work :)

Sweet I might go with a group of 6 mixed sexes and some swordtails and group of Congo tetras. I have a really cool aquascape already planned out 😃
