Firemouth cichlid (Cichlasoma meeki) are fairly large fish growing out to about 6 inches. A reasonable sized tank for a pair of firemouths (and nothing else) would be 36 inch x 18 inch x 18inch. If you wish to keep other fish with them they will have to be fairly large fish. Select from the other mid sized cichlids from South America. You can not keep African cichlids with South American ones successfully. To house these types of largish fish you will probably need to have at least a 6 foot tank or larger.
