Thanks forgot about clearing up what a SA cichlid is my bad, i was only referring to geos.
Pictus cats and corys with cichlids?

The geos aren't the only cichlids I have...I got a green terror, firemouth, Vieja Breidohri and a chocolate cichlid (Everyone is a juvenile except the chocolate who is an 8" male)
If only the geos were the only cichlid I have. I also have a Breidohri, chocolate cichlid, firemouth and green terror (All 3-4" juvies except for the chocolate who is an 8" male)
I had a pair of pictus cats with my africans. One was a little to bold or aggressive and was promptly murdered.
The other cat has survived and is doing quite well after 3 years. He's an opportunistic scavanger and has no problems keeping out of harms way

Cories do this thing where they dive up and down rapidly. If a fish is in the way it gets nailed. Cories are also very inquisitive and have little concept of territory and "personal space" Most cichlids are not okay with this. I don't recommend corydoras as tank mates to aggressive cichlids. Cories have spines that make them difficult and or hazardous to swallow. It took my JD 3 days to finally bite through one that was lodged halfway in it's mouth. I almost lost them both. If you get the catfish first, get them acclimated and introduce a small juvenile cichlid it can work- for awhile I have a midas that thinks he's an albino cory but he gets annoyed at their 24/7 antics. Some cichlids like to have "quiet time" at night (like my midas) and most catfish like to party late. Just something to think about.
