Community set up

1 have 2 rainbow cichlid in my 10g and now want to add them to my 60g community tank, please look at my profile which has a list of the fish in there and tell me if it would be ok to add them?

Most cichlids are not suitable for a community tank. Rainbow cichlids are aggressive fish, especially when compared to minnows, guppies, and tetras. Most likely you would end up with aggression issues towards the smaller fish in your community tank at some point.

Unfortunately, continuing to house them in the 10 gallon tank is not a good option either. Rainbow cichlids need a much larger tank, as they continue to grow. I know that is not the best news and doesn't help to solve the problem...
