Yes, although they are considered to be more "aggressive" than "territorial" the simple answer is yes. I once had a tank full of beautiful cichlids, and everything was going fine. They live with one another in harmony, although every now and again I would find they turned on one injured or slightly smaller fish and find it floating at the top. You cannot prevent this. It is their way of "natural" selection, or rather, eat or be eaten. If you have a very large tank it is possible to have cichlids AND other species of fish, but it is not advisable. Cichlids should stay with cichlids, and other "non-aggressive" fish are fine to mix.
