Good Tankmates?

So I am have a small community tank of the weirdest fish. I have 2 bondend Jelly Cichlids, Dovi, 2 Female Convicts, and today I am getting a Umbee cichlid....The Umbee is much larger but I heard they were docile, Think I'll be able to keep her?

Umbee and docile are 2 words not often associated with each other.

The answer is no, Unless your tank is huge

 

[garobsessed15]

first things first...how big is your tank?

 

[debert0813]

well my dovi is 2inch so are my jellys. My convicts are lil. The Umbee is 4inch and i have a 75g tall

Are you planning on upgrading?

Those fish aren't going to last much longer together in that tank, with or without the umbee. To house them correctly you would need something 200+ gallons as the umbee and dovii both grow to crazy lengths and become extremely aggressive.

eventually that dovii himself will need 200+ and same with the umbee

 

[debert0813]

When they gain some size probably a 200g. But for right now they got plenty of space.

I agree with the formentioned. Umbee is a big mean cichlid. Convicts will eventually fit perfectly inside its gaping mouth.
