    I have a 180L (46gallons) well planted tank with caves and rocks, 4 young butterfly rams, 2 triple red cockatoos, 1 bristlenose pleco, 3 dwarf honey gouramies and 2 dwarf blue gouramies. Some websites say that my cichlids are aggresive, others say they are raletively peaceful. I am wanting to add some Fairy cichlids and some kribansis. Can I keep all these together, Or do I need to get rid of some? I like all my fish but dont want to see any die! Any other suggestions as to compatable tank mates?

    Cockatoo Cichlids are semi aggressive as most cichlids are. If they're not semi aggressive they're just plain aggressive (There are exceptions). The Honey Gouramis' you have are generally peaceful fish but the Blues are semi aggressive as well.

    The rams are peaceful along with the Pelvicachromis pulcher (kribs) and the "Fairy cichlid" (Brichardi).

    With what you currently have in the tank the Kribs shouldn't be added. You could add a few of the Brichardi but after that nothing else.

    Honey gouramis are tiny guys and very peaceful. The blues can defin be nasty. Bristlenoses are easy going guys and don't bother anyone either.
    Had/have both!
    Can't say on the Rams or cockatoo's since I never had them before.
