Hello I just added two golden wonder killifish to my 45 gallon tank with 6 black skirt tetra and one mustard pleco was just wondering if there's any suggestions on fish I could get that the killifish won't devour later in their lives?

Why are you worried about killifish devouring your other fish?

These species can eat smaller fish but your black skirts should be fine
Ah the only reason I used such wording was because when I purchased the killies I also bought 6 neon tetra. I didn't have reception in the fish store so I couldn't look up the killies and the store owner said they'd be fine together. When I got them in the tank the killies were brutal to the neon tetra and I had to bring them back.

You can add larger tetras that can hold their own. Cory cats, dwarf gouramis, large female sword tails / mollys-fry food supply-Very small cichlids such as rams or kribs just to name a few. The trick is, unless the fish is significantly larger, keep additions to fish that don't inhabit the top of the water column. Anything that is smaller and moves fast becomes a target or just target practice.
