Leopard bush fish tank mates

[oddballfan33]

I have two juvenile (2 inch) Ctenopoma acutirostre in my 29 gallon tank. I was planning on a jewel cichlid and a kribensis cichlid for tank mates. Would the jewel or kribensis bully the leaf fish. Also, could I add an African butterfly fish?

Here's a helpful species profile from the AA Fish Profiles:

Thanks, but I am more worried about whether the cichlids will be territorial.

Ah ok. I think it's best if you choose one or the other, I have no idea if both will work in the same tank. When you say african butterfly fish do you mean the african butterfly cichlid or the butterfly fish? They are two different fish entirely.

Butterfly fish, the odd looking fish who stays at the surface

Okay, that should work, so long as nothing nips them.
