I just got a 55 gallon tank and i want to put more colorful cichlids in it. Right now I have 2 rainbow cichlids and 2 parrot fish and 2 silver dollars. what would be a good kind of fish to put in there. I also heard that if u have common fish that are bigger then the cichlids when u buy them the more aggressive fish wont bother them is that ture. Please help. I am looking to start putting fish in my new tank ok sunday or monday
 
are you planing on up grade later? you can get alot of the smaller cichlids ( apistolgammas), and parrots you mean blood parrots or true parrots?
 
i mean blood parrots but i just got the 55 tank and i wont upgrade for a long time but i need to know some good kind of cichlids that wont beat up on my other fish
 
Servums, cons, fire bellies, jacks...pretty much any cichlid that stays under 8''. IMO
 
not as agressive as a BP, IME......my BP tore my cons up. but as long as they are well fed, you'll be fine.
