I just finished cleaning and doing a water change to my 30 gal FW tank. I have 2 fish right now. Im wanting to add another fish but not sure what is safe to put with the 2 i have. I have a red fin cichlid and an albino rainbow shark. The cichlid is good size and the albino about half that size. My father in-law has a pleco that has out grown the tank it is in but idk about putting him in mine because of the cichlid. Question is would that be a bad idea and if so what fish would survive in my tank?
P.s. my cichlid ate 2 danios when i first put him in so i took all small fish out.20171023_222830.jpg20171023_154743.jpg20170828_005707.jpg

I'm not too sure about the cichlid, but it appears to be an African cichlid and it may need a bigger tank. The rainbow shark will need a bigger tank as well. And definitely don't take the pleco, common plecos can grow a few feet in length (assuming it's a common pleco because you never specified the type).
 
Ya not sure on the type of pleco. Im going to be looking into a 75 gal or bigger soon
