Hello all, this will be my first post.
I am struggling to find good tank mates with my 2 Jewel cichlids.. they eat anything and everything! I also have 4 brazilian puffers housed.. they don't seem to mess with eachother.. but I have tried a blue lobster aka crayfish.. the cichlids kept stealing his food and he eventually parished.. they attacked and devoured 3 glo fish.. they are very greedy and I have to make sure the puffers get fed properly.. any suggestions on tank mates or maybe someone has past experience with these guys.. I would love to have more variation of fish in my 75 gallon...thanks
 
I have never kept this species but what I do no is that they can be aggressive and that u should try housemates like larger cichlids and posibly a catfish . However do be aware that cichlids do fight and if the new house mate is to much bigger it may be a bad end for your jewel.
