hiii this might sound strange but i would like to know from you all that

i have

4 jaguar ciclhlid
4 red devil
2 FH low grade
of size 3"-3.5"

and are they all compatible in a 5'1'1.6' tank

i know that sounds strange but
on youtube i saw a video which had many fully developed FH in a same tank

but what is your reason behind it
 
Your tank is way to small for all those fish, your tank is too small just for a pair of Jaguars.
 
fh would eventually kill the others...
but if u had a bunch brought up together as frys they are probly evenly aggressive to wer one dosent out compete the others

The fish are all 3.5 inches right now...and in the long run, a 5x1x1.5 tank is too small. all those fish you have listed get too big for the tank unless solo. Id say if the flowerhorns can make it through the first 4-5 inches without being killed by the devils, they will be the end survivors.
 
like everyone else said, that grouping will have to be split up at some point...time to pick favorite or move some to other tanks

i totally agree with all your reasons but i would like to knowthatless space would name then less aggressive as they do not have any territories

NO..less space means less clean water, less space to swim around, less stretchout room, less room for growth, less personal space, less EVERYTHING and will simply not work with your stock list. They are AGGGRESSIVE by nature, so you dictating their space wont determine their level of aggression, unless you go BIGGER or put them in 3.5 x 3.5 inch little boxes. That will solve the aggression problem.
