i'm working with a freind who wants to setup a cichlid tank. hes looking at a docile tank so there wont be aggression, and was wondering if Pictus Catfish will work with them? the tank is a 125g and was thinking 3 cats with the ciclids. any body?

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

If you are going with south american cichlids the pictus should be fine, they can fend for themselves if the other fish are not too aggresive, as for african well they won't do well because the ph will be way out of their confort zone. I have pictus cats with severums, 2 nicaraguan cichlids, parrot fish and a convict and they do fine.
