Alright, /an/ I currently have a 30 gallon, tropical fishtank with live breeders (Swordtails and Guppies, mostly) but I am taking an interest in South American Cichlids. Is it worth having them? And if it is, what is your suggestions for tank specs and type of Cichlid? Thanks in advance, anons.
Pic semi-related, my current tank.

Most get too big for your tank. Smaller ones like Rams would work but all cichlids will eat the babies of the other fish or your adult fish if they get big enough.

Didn't plan on putting them in the same tank, that's why I asked for tank specs.

If money isn't an issue see if you can find a petco with a 75g. They're $1 per gallon is going on. Would open up your options tremendously. But 55 is fine for a lot. Avoid convict cichlids. They breed like crazy and will over run your tank. The spawning pair will also probably kill any other tank mates. A andinoacara rivulatus is a easy fish. Can be aggressive but always depends on the cichlid. Nice colors and can live there life in a 55. Geophagus are really nice and have better temperaments along with severums. They're both pretty unique looking as well.

Apologies anon, thanks.
