My friends gave me a jewel cichlid from their cichlid tank because he was getting his butt kicked. I had him in my little 5 gal until I made sure he was going to live. They are afraid to put him back in their tank so we put him in my 55 gal tank. I am wondering if this was a good idea. I have 6 tetras, a pleco, a striped Rafael catfish, a Green Severum, 2 Eartheaters, a Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami, a Giant Gourami, a Pearl Gourami, and a female betta. My parameters are: tank is 78 degrees, Ammonia & Nitrites at 0, Nitrates are 30 ( I have some live plants), PH is 7.8. All my fish get along with each other. I want to make sure the cichlid won't eat anyone. Any advise would be appreciated. I don't know much about cichlids. The first picture is the Jewel in my 5 gal and then a picture of my 55 gal.
