bandit and keyhole cichlids

I have never kept Keyhole Cichlids, but I would think it might work. I have seven Bandit Cichlids (G. Geayi) growing out along with a bunch of G. steindachneri in a 125 and they get along just fine. It is possible the keyholes would beat up the bandits, but it might be worth a shot.
I'd be most concerned with the Geos...large males, especially, can get nasty.
6' tank with different areas should diffuse the aggression. Provide lots of caves for the Guianacara and hiding spots for the Keyholes.

I would not be concerned with aggression from the keyholes. I keep mine with small tetras and angels and have never had a problem. I agree with Matt in that the geos may become bullies to the keyholes. Maximizing territories and breaking up line of sight should help defuse aggression.
