Cichlids

do Cichlids do well with mollies, or will they eat them if i place them in a community tank?

No, cichlids can't be kept with mollies   Cichlids are far more aggressive and will quickly disperse of the mollies.

I do not agree as it really depends on which type of cichild.  Dwarfs for example would have no problem I would think.

"disperse of" Don't you mean "dispense with"

yeah, I agree. It really depends on the kind of cichlid. For example, kribs would not likely bother an adult molly and they have similar water requirements. Other options would be keyholes, angles, rams(althout they have different water needs, mollies are adaptable) and I know there's others.

There are many cichlids that are far too aggressive for mollies though...And some will become aggressive when breeding.

I would not recommend africans, convicts, or jack dempseys for exemple...the molly would be turned into a messy meal. lol
