My friend is trying to offload some of his baby red humps, I do not have a cichlid only tank, I've got rainbows, Congo tetra, anglefish, killifish, albino Corey's n bristlenose. I've got 200L tank. Would these fish be suitable for my community? If so, what ratio male to female is best? I read somewhere that the males can be bossy, so could I just have couple of females?
Any advice would be appreciated by people who have had experience with this fish.
 
i actually just got rid of my red humps. i had a few disasters in the house with tanks leaking and fish dying and i wanted nothing bad to happen to them so i gave them to my local mom and pop store who is taking great care of them. i had my two males from babies and they grew up just fine. i had them at one point in a 55 with 2 kribensis, 4 bolivians, 6 juvenile albino corys and 2 baby bristlenose, no problems. then i got rid of everythhing except the bristlenose and the corys. few months after that i had to re home some angel fish for a friend and put them in the tank with my red humps, still no problems. they are a very peaceful fish who only get about 6'' max. they are amazing fish i would suggest them.
