Hi, are there any breeding pairs of cichlids that would fit in a 60 gallon that wouldn't kill columbian tetras or a pleco or a catfish
Breeding pair of cichlids for 60 gallon

Archocentrus (Cryptoheros) nanoluteus, multispinossa or panamense
although with the tetras and pleco, I wouldn't expect any cichlid fry to survive if they did breed.

You could go with apistos or rams
I have 2 breeding pairs of apistos (A. sp. pebas and A. oregon) and they've really grown on me.
Like Duanes said, the cichlid fry will most likely be consumed by the tank mates and that is even more likely with apistos or rams

Yeah. The point in having a pair was so I could see there breeding colours and behaviour. Would a firemouth pair work?
They would, you could add some live bears Like sword tails or mollies

My personal rule is 1" of adult species per 10 gals, meaning a pair or trio not over 6" in a 60 gal tank works.
So I guess an average sized pair of firemouths, at least until they breached 6" could work.
My size rule only applies to small-medium cichlids though, once cichlids start hitting the 15" range I believe capacity should be expanded.

would there be enough room for some more dithers as I already have columbian tetras. If so how many sword tails
