The Weakest Cichlid

rams are bad. I bought a couple rams once. my blue paradise gourami killed them... how sad is that?
just wanted to add that my vote for weakest cichlid would probably have to go to either angels or discus. I think even a fully grown male ram in a bad mood could take out an angel. 
Did cha ever think of maybe MOVING the aggressor outa the tank instead of lettin them get killed? All the firemouths i've kept put up a hell'va good fight/bluff against larger cichlids. I've kept mine with pikes, viejas, red terrors, and jags...but if the aggression gets bad...MOVE THE FRIGGIN FIREMOUTH! don't let it get killed..
excluding things like discus, angels etc... firemouths and the gold saum gts have to be the weakest I've kept. Firemouths... I had a pair breed in a community tank with some pikes, sals, etc... they bluffed out everything except the bigger male sal. I saw the FM flare at the sal, initiate a liplock only to have the salvini twist and tear off his bottom jaw 
GTs,,, they just don't last, they'll be fine for the first few days and then bam, I wake up one morning to a dead gt.

Discus. Even angels can raise a little hell. Discus can get beat the crap out of by their shadows.
I have a firemouth that I have had for about 3 years and him is a mean mother I had to put him in with my flowerhorn about a year ago and that is the fish he get along with
