I used to do cichlids, but after a while, I got tired of the constant mean-ness.
Got rid of all but angelfish (which are cichlids), and then they got mean too since the others were gone and they decided to get mean, so traded them back in for 2 neon blue gouramis and 2 neon coral gouramis. (dwarfs)
Which are mean, but only to each other.
Now the entire tank is community fish, some on the aggressive side, but not bad.
No one goes missing anymore.
