Cichlid Tank

[Hoyo12]

Never thought that I'd see the day that I would setup a large Cichlid setup as opposed to an Oddball setup, lol. Although, there are a few Oddballs, along with one of my favorite species. The Knife fish. Can't have a good looking set up without a Knife. Two African Knives to be exact.
I'm working on it; I would like to add some more rocks in the back. Hopefully pile them to the top, maybe add more sand. I'll see if I can start on that tomorrow, along with a few other projects I've got going on, and hopefully some new arrivals.
Stock!:
3x Yellow Labs (2m, 1f)
6x Albino Metriaclima Hajomaylandi (3m, 3f) Rescues
1x Cobalt Blue Zebra (M) Rescue
1x White Top Hara (M) Rescue
1x Red Top Hongi Cichlid (F)
1x African Hybrid Cichlid (M, Yellow Lab x Red Zebra)
2x Spotted Pictus
3x Black Bullhead
3x Sharks (Red Tail rescue, Rainbow, White-fin Blue)
1x L001 Pleco
1x Senegal Bichir
1x Rope "Eel"/Reedfish
2x Blue Gourami (2m)
1x African Butterfly Fish
1x small Bluegill (Little brother caught him last year, lol)
2x African Knives

2x Eclipse Catfish
Big list, but the tank looks empty, lol. I will be removing the Eclipse and Bullhead so I can add some smaller Cichlids to the tank soon. (Blue Dolphins and Eureka Red Peacocks)
I'll try to get more pics later. Camera died on the third pic.

Looks good, id worry that the cichlids would be too agressive for the knives and they would stress them or pick on them untill they died.

Thanks.
Nah, I've had them together since... April 1st. Little bit of nipping at first from the Cichlids, and each-other, but I have not seen any issues for the past two months. Not a mark on them, and the Cichlids barely even notice they're there.
