stocking a 40 gallon

From experience, I'd say the firemouth would get beaten up by everyone else in all of the tank sizes you mentioned.

I know firemouths are kinda "sissys" compared to most central american cichlids but for some reason mines is a real pain in the jacks ***

Nice to know im not the only one.

So im thinking of doing
1 bristlenose pleco
1 firemouth
2 green sunfish
1tricolor cichlid or electric blue jack since they are less aggressive and stay smaller also yes I'm aware they have special "needs". What does everyone think about this stocking? Any suggestions or concerns?
