Re: tank mates
What size are you cichl*ds currently? That would be a good place to start. If they're already adults you'll be limited to choosing some of the larger plecos that are adults already so as to avoid being eaten.

Presuming the water is suitable; hardness, temperature, pH etc then consider...

Great suggestion Richard. I've always loved these, they're beautiful, just a bit too big for my tanks. Looks like Aquascape Online has some for sale right now too, much cheaper than I thought they'd be.
