i have a 90 gallon tank with 30 tetras 15 of them are serpeas and the other 15 are black phantoms i also have 4 giant danios ( i had 6 but one of them is a pregnant female and she chases everyone so i guess that she killed them cause i found them dying dead on the bottom of the tank)
i always wanted to keep this species of chiclids its a festivum or other wise knows as flag cichlids for those that dont know what im talking about here are some pictures:

i did lots of research and it says that its similar to freshwater angel fish that it shouldnt be kept with small tetras like neons,cardinals,rummy nose gold,blue tetras cuse they will be eaten but now what about larger types??? does anyone have experience with this type of fish ??
i saw some of them at my local pet store they have them for sale they are about 2.5 inches long and cost 6$ and there are 3 full grown pairs and they cost 100$ for each i think that i would want the smaller once
any ways im kida of scared that if i get them they will die casue the serpeas will nip the fins and chase them
are there other relatively small species ( but other than rams,apistogamas and kribs ) that will be good as community cichlid i know that they will get a bit agressive during breeding season
