Need some SA cichlid suggestions for a 600G that will be compatible with Silver Arowanas and Glass Knives. The Arowanas are about 3"-3.5" atm. I'm getting some Silver Dollars tomorrow so they need to work with them also.
SA Cichlid Tankmate suggestions

i don't think glass knifes would work with cichlids and they defenatily won't work with a silver aro a Clown knife could work we'll with both of those are are very preditory awesome fish to watch cruze the tank at night
for cichlids theres alot to pick from people have combined a TON of differn't cichlids with arowannas and in that size tank you have ALOT of options it would be eazier to name fish that wouldn't work
one thing that will cut down the choices is how many do you wan't do you wan't a few cichlids or alot your could do a few big cichlids like 3-4 in that tank or you could add a bunch so they can't make territories in that case you would wan't to add around 10-12 large cichlids or more depending on the filtration of the tank
a few cichlids to look at are
jaguar cichlid (mabye)
trimac/flowerhorn( big mabye)
green terror
male jack dempsy
midas cichlid(mabye)
mayan/uro cichlid (mabye if its with a midas or red devil)
Texas cichlid
mota cichlid
red bay snooks ( peaceful fish)
green bay snooks
red terror (mabye)
many types of pike cichlid go for the bigger ones
severums
geophagus are color full and non aggressive fish that do very we'll with arowanas
vieja species (mabye with some )
peacock bass (not aggressive but will eat all the small guys)
datnoids ( not a cichlid but a very cool fish)
and many more
(with with mabye next to them can be aggressive and it will depends on the individual fish some will be more aggressive then others but given space can be tame) + they would be much more likely to fight each other then your aro and they won't gang up on it
