Most colourful peaceful SA cichlids

[Hybridfish7]

“Acaras “

Only laetacara and cleithracara, cichlasoma/aequidens/andinoacara will be aggressive and actively predate smaller fish

Krobia and ivanacara to a lesser degree

Discus might eat small enough fish as well, gymnogeos, bolivian rams, might be another option though

Apistos will also be territorial

Thanks for all the info would a terquoise severum fit in a 60 gallon tank with acaras a festivum ant burnish Aries tetras if not what other small ish fish could I keep?

60 is pushing it for a sev - they get to about 8-10 inches. A 75 would be much more comfortable. Mine was in a 55 for a number of years, he instantly started acting better once moved into a 75.
The other cichlids would work out - Buenos Aires make good dithers.

I’ve had good luck housing Biotodoma cupido with festivums.
