Did a youtube search. The herotilapia multispinosa are really cool! Jeff rapps has them listed as archocentrus multispinosa. Same fish?

I will for sure! Im starting to lean heavilly towards the archocentrus or herotilapia multispinosa whatever they are. They seem to be relatively peaceful. What else could i keep with them to sort of fill in the space? Also i have seen tanks on youtube with multiple pairs but they are probably much larger than this tank. Would two pairs be a possibility? Probably not enough territory in the footprint huh?
IMO two pairs should be fine, given enough hiding places
To the op, u can also do a trio
and yea the archocentrus is the same fish. They changed its name a few years ago and some ppl just call it herotilapia out of habitSent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app
i honestly dont see a problem growing out a few salvinis in the 56?? as long as you upgrade within a few months to 5 months, heck you have about 10 months.. they grow at about 1/2 inch a month ( well 1 inch a month tell about 4 or 5 months then slow down. )
I appreciate that, however I can wait. it will just give me a chance to learn more about them.

so they won't kill the third wheel when they breed?
I'd say no, just cuz these fish seem like they are very peaceful. But, just to be on the safe side, give them ample hiding places which will also make them happier
