cichla project from a noob

[gonder]

recently I buy a 3 cichla orinocco and I'm waiting for 4 cichla ocellaris, I'm not sure that my fishes are orinocco, I'm so new in this fishes... and where I live it's a little bit difficult to found cichla, and more difficult a little bigger fishes.

It arrive with 2" and now are like 3", I'm feeding only withs sera discus, I try with another fresh foods and they are not interested... I think it's not usuall, but they feed on discus food so well and they grow faster.

Now my cichla are alone in a 70 gallon tank (270l), my idea is grow them, make a pair and put the pair alone in my 130 gallon tank (500l).

I'm not sure if I make the conversion of liter to gallon ok...

Do you think my tank it's enough for a cichla pair? are easy to breed them? another pair it's possible?

I'm new in this fish and I want to know more about them, and I saw a lot of information on this forum. I have american cichlids from a long time ago, but now I want to start with cichla for the first time. But I would like to do as good as i can. I like to learn about this fish from more experienced peolple.

Thanks for your patience
