Need some help

[Knapper]

Alright I decided today that I wanting to to change up my tank a little bit I have a 60 now ( ill get a bigger tank if needed but its fine for now I plan on buying the fish when there small) im wanting to put an electric yellow , 2 of the parrot fish, a peacock, 2 convicts. What for you all think and what tank size do you reccomend? I've got a couple of concerns but I want to see what you guys think first. Or even if this set up is possible

If those 2 parrot fish are blood parrots, I would think against it. With African cichlids in the tank, they have no way to defend themselves due to their mouths being deformed.

Just stick with African cichlids and don't mix them with Central American cichlids like the convicts or hybrids like the parrots. I'm sure you can find African cichlids that have the same convict pattern.

The parrots are the hybrids not the convicts.
