Hi, everyone.

I have recently acquired a 32.5"L x 17"D x 19.5"H, advertised as a 40 Gallon High. I was wondering, am I able to keep cichlids in this tank? The nearby LFS sells Firemouths, Blue Acaras, Gold Saum, JDs, Severums, Rainbow Cichlids, and Black Belt Cichlids. Are any of these suitable for a tank of this size?

Ones I am very interested in are the Acaras, Gold Saum, Severums, Black Belts, and Rainbows. Will any of these be suitable for this tank?


Thanks.
 
It would appear I cannot edit my first post, but I thought I should add: They also sell Texas Cichlids, Threadfin Acara, Jaguar Cichlids, Blood Parrots, Red Hump Eartheater, Geophagus brasilliensis, Pike Cichlid, and Vieja argentea.​
 
gold saum or rainbow or firemouth will be fine

The severum and black belts get too big for a 40gallon

Loves Severums: So all of the fish I mentioned in the two posts are okay, except for the Severums and the Black Belts?


to all those who suggested Rainbows: Will males fight with each other?
