Possible 55 gallon stocking?

[Joe M]

Alright, I have a 55 that's now waiting to be filled with fish. I have no experience with cichlids outside of oscars and Pbass, so you guys will be making this decision for me. My one possible plan was a lightly planted tank with an EBJD and a salvini or two. From a quick google search, it seems to me that this will work, but I'll leave the final say to the people who know best.


So, Whatcha think?

What you suggested has to be done with caution, as the salvini are much more aggression, and if you do try it anyway, by all means don't add more than one salvini
