so i was researching some different fish today, mostly looking for different types of fish that could live happily with guppys.. were prolly gonna either just get guppies or just get goldfish.. but looking at and trying to learn about different fish is kinda fun.. even tho i forget most of it when were actually in the store looking at fish

anyway i was looking around on www.aquariacentral.com i found a Blue-Eye Cichlid.. oh how pretty..

anyway, it says there peaceful, does that mean they would be ok with guppies? it says they get to 4.5" which is prolly kinda big for a 29gal? the site says they would be ok in a 25 gal, but that seems too small to me, especially for a pair? i think having 1-2 larger fish, i could keep guppies with would be kinda cool, in hopes that the guppies do not become snacks that is.. anyway, i'd love some suggestions..
(also, anyone know any other good sites for information on different fish?)

if you are looking into gf's I d sugest to go to kokosfishworld.com its a great source , now guppies will be eaten by gfs lollil piggies willeat anything that will fit in thier mouths and remember for 1 inch fish per gall dosent go for gfs 10 gls per goldie kokos is great im lisa_belle78 there see ya soon!!!!

I don't know anything about that species of cichlid in particular,but because they get larger then guppies,I personally wouldn't risk keeping them with guppies,as the tiny little guppies will most likely become a snack!

i agree, they probably will eat the guppies

I agree that the guppies would be eaten. Actually, guppies are often used as feeders for many cichlids!
