Whats up guys? I need some help, obvisously. I actually lost all my fish in my 46g cuz my parents turned off everything and they were gone longer then expected......yeah. So Im starting over. I have an ac-110 and an ac-70 on it. I just have a spotted raphael who is 3in at most, and a firemouth is is 4in. What other cichlid can I put in there that wont get to big? This will be their life tank. Im not looking to have 10 fish in it. I'd rather add one or two beautiful looking fish instead of 10 smaller ones. I dont mind only having 3-4 fish in it. Thanks for the help again.
 
Angels, keyholes, the host of smaller cichlids might work as long as you don't get pairs. I would stay away from pairs because once breeding it reduces what you can put in the tank. Also consider some of the medium sized or deep bodied tetras.

no.... A convict cichlid would work just fine.. Not a angelfish or keyhole
 
i have one about 4 inches too that is in a 75 with a dempsey convict and red jewel. given its a 75 i think a red jewel or convict could work, maybe a festivum?
 
convict ,salvin,jewel can work
 
Mine beats up (or atleast tries to) anything smaller than him. My jewel though has no problem standing his ground so I'd recommend one.
 
cutteri are nice I also recomend rainbow cichlids for that size tank maybe even a lace cat instead of a cichlid
