Thanks for all the advice.
i think i should refrain from placing discus in because of the peace issues. Yeh you are all right that those African Rift Cichlids are very territorials especially those white parrot fishes. I am quite amazed that the swordtails survived though. i think i would add more of them and upgrade my tank to 150 gallons to resolve the space issue because of the quick growth. I added three marble angels last week ago and they are doing good. i think they know how to defend themselves. They have no btes whatsoever and i've seen them confront some of the cichlids. The Blue Ice is quite aggressive and i have seen the Angel fight with it and the Blue Ice backs out. So i think the Angels could take care of themselves. They are pretty to look at with the cichlids because of the variety of the size. Though i would be careful not to place discus's in there. I would be planning to have another tank instead for them.
This is another issue for me to take in. I would like to have another tank about 150 gallons. What substrate, aeration and filtration would you suggest? I am planning this to be a planted tank with discus and cories. Please suggest fishes suited for the community tank i am about to make.
