IMHO size has very little to do with compatibility, it's all of the other issues that were mentioned. Another factor that I failed to mention was that because of their mouth structure they eat slowly, some need to be hand fed, unable to eat pellets. Floating Cichlid pellets, even soaked are difficul...
