I usually came across this question being frequently asked , so this is what I would reply to every fish enthusiast:

The idea is not to stuff too many in one aquarium. If you have a 30 gallon tank, I would not have more than 2 cichlids living in it. Cichlids is also made up of different variety like African Cichlids, Bolivian ram, Midas, Convicts and that includes Discus as well. All these fish grow very fast and reach large size about 8 inches and above. Note also that cichlids can be aggressive and you must be wise to choose the types that can be mixed together. Always remember, too many can be problematic and such having fewer means you can put more focus and attention. Cichlids is also susceptible to disease. You can discover and getting prepared when it comes to fish disease.
