Cichlid for 70 Gallon tank

[Fish100]

I've got a 70 gallon tank with a one jack Dempsey 2 blood parrots a pleco and a eclipses catfish. I want to get one more cichlid to go in the tank but I don't no wich kind would go good in the tank.

The only that is going to fit in there is a smaller cichlid like con or firemouth. But they would wind up being lunch for the catfish.

What are the demintions on the tank? Convict might be the only reasonable option... Full grown I feel like your tank may be very full. Take it from a guy who in the past 6 months has had to 1/2 his stock and double his tankage... (Growing pains suck...)

4ft long buy 19inches wide

Ditch the Catfish and throw a Convict Cihlid in there. Otherwise, you're fully stocked.

Is there any other fish that could live with my bps and jd maybe a gourmi

 

[Buphy]

Other fish? yes. In that size tank? Like I said, gonna be tight. Full grown BP are like small foot balls and the JD isn't a small fish full grown either. I know I hated hearing it too but right now I have a JD, EBJD and bleekeri in a 55 and its divided so they won't kill each other. I'm getting a 75 and that's just until I get something bigger...
