New 125 gal set-up

[pauly]

Just finished cycling and want to try a hard stocking plan! . . . So I want to try a truly community Cichlid tank with " New World " fish as well as some others from south america and/or Africa with a few Gourami ,Danios etc. . . . any one done this before or have any suggestions? I have kept Cichlids before with great success and was just wondering about mixing? Currently have 2 JD's, 2 Firemouth, 1 Green Terror,2 Flowerhorn,6 Z. Danios and a handfull of fedder guppies

How large is your tank?

I'd avoid mixing rift lake and SA/CA cichlids together. They have different preferred water conditions and even more importantly different dietary needs. You may actually have some aggression trouble as those current fish mature. 2 inch fish behave much differently than adults.
