Top 10 Most "Peaceful" Cichlids

[@CichlidBros]

Hi all! In the video, I briefly mention a few things you can do to avoid aggression with cichlids. If you're having trouble with aggression issues, I would check out the video below. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3-ykqZ8e9-indk

Can king kong parrot fish live with other peaceful cichlid comfortably like Severum, neon blue acara or geophagus cichlid or will it have any issues. Please tell as I am willing to buy one.

[@Don-md4df]

Facts I own a few 6 males and had 8 females. only 1 male and 2 females died because I forgot to turn on the filter after a water change

[@audrameyer9558]

I loved this! I have Severum, Electric Blue Acara, Apistos, Rams and Bolivian Rams all in the same tank together.....lol. I love them all and have never had any issues with aggression. I make sure there are lots of places for them to hide and provide lots of line of sight breaks

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks, Audra! Sounds like a great tank 👍🏻

[@samanthabose7306]

How big is your tank! I have been hoping for this comment 😁 because it's exactly what I want minus the severum.

[@audrameyer9558]

@Samantha Bose Hi 👋 Things have changed a little in the past few months. The apistos have been rehomed. I felt they would do better together elsewhere so they could breed and the fry survive. The rest are still doing great and in a 55 gallon. 😊

I use apistos as bait fish for catfish

[@audrameyer9558]

Glad it was helpful!

[@noodlefpv8040]

Great video guys! I keep a lot of the fish you talked about in a "less aggressive" large south/central American cichlid tank.. I have a festivum and he is super docile as well. I work at a large fish store and they have worked extremely well with sevrums acaras firemouths ect

[@guerrarsenal]

Great vid! Love to see the EB Acara on the list.

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@jokervienna6433]

I really like the introduction - "all cichlids can be agressive". To that, I would like to add that aggression level can vary even within the same species. I definitely agree with the rams and the keyhole being "peaceful", but I am sceptic around N. multifasciatus. They have even attacked my hands and also fully grown frontosa. But ok, they don´t follow up, they just protect their space. Some other peaceful cichlids (for being cichlids) are Apistogramma borelli and Laetacara curviceps. They usually also only defend their space and seldom go crazy. They also both have small mouths and can not be considered as fish eaters. Last but not least: no fish have ever read the books or watched any video on how they should behave. Even with good recommendations and intentions, one might end up with a "peaceful" cichlid that is batshit crazy.

[@CichlidBros]

Agreed

[@amymandeville8342]

Frontosa are my number one favorite fish. Mine were definitely gentle giants. My tied for second place are Rams (all of them) and Yellow Labs. I'm glad you kept your list short, because there are so many fantastic chiclids!

[@janellechew6193]

They are so beautiful scared as they need such a huge tank

[@dhammaboy1203]

Surprisingly I had a killer Frontosa that took out 3 peacocks - and not small ones either - but yeah that’s unusual and they are one of the best fish IMO! If there is a next time illl just do a Frontosa only tank!

[@nick.u182]

Keyhole cichlids are just amazing. I kept 4 in a community planted tank and they did great. I also had two Rams and they just got along fine. These little guys have a great temperament and playful nature.

[@caseyruegsegger282]

Great video. You’ve talked me into adding an Electric Blue Acara to my 125. My addition to the list would be the Uaru. Their transformation from juvenile to adult alone is amazing.

[@CichlidBros]

Awesome! Great addition too 👍🏻

[@clarep06]

I have a keyhole , he is the most peaceful shy fish, in with neon tetras, albino Cory's, rummy noses and 2 torpedoes. He is my favourite, so I was happy to see they are no.1 on your list

[@CichlidBros]

[@Dan-TylerMusic]

I had 4 keyholes all male who all got super aggressive out of the blue and chased my rainbow cichlid everywhere.

[@liadshiran]

Great video! I also love my EBA. I would also recommend Blood Parrots as peaceful (not to mention how intelligent and personable they are)

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you, and great mention!

[@jasonmaceyko1902]

I'd stay away from the Convict Parrot Cichlids.... they are instigators !! My Blood Parrot Cichlid is very low key in comparison.

[@dmoore0079]

One peaceful SA dwarf that often gets overlooked are the Laetacara - especially Curviceps and Dorsigera. They're a great substitute for the Bolivian Ram, and do fantastic with small tetras.

[@fatguyonthc]

My curviceps tried to kill the third wheel and at the moment are harassing a baby jag although it’s able to hold its own. They’re a handful when they pair up.

Surprised Kribs (kribensis) weren't mentioned. In my experience, they are great community tank cichlids. They from close pair bonds, are excellent parents, and go about their business without terrorizing their neighbors... plus they are a pretty fish.

Uaru!!! My absolutely favorite

[@CichlidBros]

Great choice for sure!

[@sazabi888]

Honestly, from experience I've never had any issues of anything from a keyhole and consider them for sure absolutely peaceful. Mine have lived with corydoras for a long while, they don't mind them or any other fish in there. Rather, they get along with everything there including the botias and oddly enough they like the gourami (Samurai gourami, dwarf) like there's no fin nipping or anything and they've shared the tank for more than a year without any issues, so I wouldn't say they're "peaceful", but actually peaceful. And I've kept over 30 keyholes with a few 55+ tanks all having them.

[@aaronvaught7532]

Loved my keyhole, EBA and opal apistos. All of them get along. Trying to add a Ram, but have a hard time finding a good source. Got one from a LFS that had ick. Outside of that all these suggestions are really great. Maybe I’ll try a Bolivian instead of the German blue.

[@lpkev]

My Electric Blue Acara lives with about 30 cardinal tetras. I love him, I will definitely be looking for a Keyhole cichlid.

[@malcolmcampbell1968]

i have T-bar cichlid he seems really calm.

[@tracyhoneycomb1377]

I looove my keyholes, they are the most precious little things! My Bolivian Ram is a tyrant, so I put him in the community tank with my gold red spot Severum, electric blue acara, blood parrots, huge blue angelfish, ect, and he has no fear whatsoever, tries to run off the bigger fish. Lucky for him, I seem to have the nicest, most chill cichlids ever, so they pay his antics no mind lol They don't even bother the elderly Harlequin Rasboras I "retired" into that tank or a baby eating guppy mama!

[@alekkoomanoff7281]

Cyprichromis & Paracyprichromis, the sardine cichlids, are probably the most peaceful cichlids around. There are several other Tanganyikans that have peaceful dispositions. Nannacara anomala is an easy dwarf pretty SA that should be kept more. Most West African are analogous to apistos. Domestic angels kept at 75°F. are pretty peaceful. I love EBAs but they can get boisterous behind mating activities. Geophagus are a peaceful and beautiful group. Really want to try G.sveni. Vieja breidhori and Amitlania nanolutea are two peaceful CAs.

[@markh.williamsauthor7286]

I have a 110 gallon with 2 gold/red spot severum, a green severum, 2 electric blue acara, and 2 rainbow cichlids. I also have a 47 with 2 german blue rams and 2 bolivian rams. Love that many of my fish are on this list.

[@jimmysfishystory5749]

Good video, surprised you didn’t include the brichardi, mine doesn’t bother anyone other than an occasional approach to check ‘em out….

[@dermotkelly4077]

Good show. I am thinking of getting a 6 foot x 3 foot tank . I have decided to get 1 severum , one convict , one blue acara , one firemouth , one female salvini , one t bar , these will be all male with the exception of the female salvini. Plenty of rocks and caves to avoid aggresion. What do you think?

[@CichlidBros]

Sounds like a great set up. The only one I'd keep an eye on is the Salvini. They can get very aggressive as they mature, but the tank size should help mitigate most of those concerns.

[@Calilasseia]

The one you missed ... Anomalochromis thomasi. This is possibly THE best Cichlid for a beginner, as it's an outright pacifist compared even to some of the Apistogramma species. Lovely colours, and easy to breed too. I would recommend this one above ALL of the others in your list.

[@danielbarrett6026]

I have an mbuna tank with Blue cobalts, Snow whites, Labeotropheus Fuellborni, Rusties, and Yellow Labs. The majority of the mbuna I keep are larger, moderate/aggressive w/ exception on the yellow labs. I had rusty cichlids, but had to rehome them since they were biting the sides of other fish, chasing them incessantly until exhaustion, and a lot of fin nipping.. That species was the most aggressive in the tank even when only one rusty was in the tank. Using this experience, I would put the rusties in a more aggressive tank in the future.

[@djcmission]

Hello from 🇬🇧 . Very interesting. What size does #6 get to? You nention the nax size of some but not all. Would have been nice if you had. Is it fair to say ALL Rams could have been in this list? If not, why? Thanks

[@seansquill8773]

I have quite a few Severums, the only one who’s fairly aggressive is my Green and he’s the boss in my 90 gallon tank. For the most part they play the part of the bouncers of the tank getting in the middle of scuffles. My Electric Blue Acara is pretty mild mannered as well. One fish I would have added to the list is a Festivum, mine is one of the coolest fish I’ve ever kept. Every now and than him and the Rotkeil Severum will bump heads for a few seconds, but only at dinner time. Other wise he’s as laid back as they come. For those asking about Red Head Topajos Geos, they are pretty nuts in my experience with them. I have a squad in each of my tanks. And they are relentless towards each other, and as they get bigger I catch them every now and than squaring off with my Blue Acara. Most of the time started by one of the Geos🤷🏻‍♂️ A lot of people say they are all bark no bite, I say otherwise. My biggest Red Head Geo is probably second in command to my much bigger Green Sev and I’ve yet to see him back down from any fish he’s been in with.

[@CichlidBros]

Agreed with all of the above! I actually have never kept the festivum (Want to soon), which is the main reason it wasn’t on the list, but based on others’ experience it definitely deserves a spot. Thanks, Sean!

[@carlosmanuelgonzalez5238]

You guys always make great videos but I will have to disagree with the fact that Mbunas and Severums are peaceful cichlids. I’ve been in the aquarium hobby for over 20 years particularly dealing with cichlids and Severums and Mbunas are not peaceful by any means. Severums are not highly aggressive such as a Flowerhorn or Jaguar but they are not peaceful or timid either. No matter how small they are they will always find a way to nip and chase others to claim dominance. Keep up creating awesome videos!!!! Can’t wait to see more.
