The minimum sized tank I would advise to keep a community of medium sized cichlids in is an 8 ftx 2 ftx 2 ft.

It's generally not advisable to keep parrot fish and African cichlids together in a 55-gallon tank due to their differing temperaments and environmental needs.

Additionally, their water parameters may vary, as African cichlids prefer harder, alkaline water while parrot fish thrive in softer conditions. It's best to choose species that are more compatible in terms of temperament and water requirements.
