in general it is best to stick with one type of fish (such as live bearers or tetras) untill you gain more experience with identifying fish and judging compatibility. if your like most of us you'll find that one tank is seldom enough for all the fish you want to keep and you will quickly fill the house with tanks and fish related gear.

thanks for the info, I really love the cichlids, hope I can keep them. They are pretty small, haven't seen any aggression yet, is there anything I can do to keep all of my fish, including the cichlids (more hiding spots, any chemicals or drugs) Or even other fish that might calm the cichlids aggression or am i a hopeless case?
