would i be able to temporarily keep a dinosaur bicher in a 56 gallon with 6 or 7 mbuna cichlids? thanks for your help.
 
if the mbuna are bite sized, I would say no. Otherwise, there could be problems with the mbunas being too aggressive depending on the species
 
the species are: acei, jewel, red zebra, bumble bee and demasoni. they are not bite sized, infact they are all almost full grown with the exception of the bumblebee because he grows much larger than the others. they are all roughly 4 - 4.5 inches.

so yes bicher or no bicher?
 
Yes, it would be fine. As long as it is not worm sized and tempting itself. I have 3 senegals (9", 2 at 5") and an ornate with my americans. No problems.
 
yeah it should be fine, my boyfriend has one in his cichlid tank and all he ate were the danios up top, he'll only eat what fits in his mouth, doesn't really bite persay
