What makes a good match?

[cmj15]

What species of cichlids would make good tankmates for convicts and firemouths in a 45 gallon aquarium? I already have a pair of convicts and a pair of firemouths.

Two pairs in the same tank ? probably not a hole lot your gonna have problems as it is as they grow mabye add some dithers

the convicts will easidly dominate the tank while breeding. i didnt see the pairs part.

there shouldn't even be 2 pairs in that tank let alone something else.

you would do alot better with one of each and then another tank mate.

You can add the tankmate only if you split the convict pair
