Tank mates for Jake??

Ok as some of you might know I have a male Jack Dempsey, he is in a 55gal with one blue 3 spot gourami, 2 blood parrots, a pleco, and a pictus catfish. I just recently gave my 6 glow light tetras and the last 2 glo fish to my sister seeing as how I think Jake found them to be a great snack. He only ate the glo fish not the tetras So what I am asking is anybody got any suggestions as to what to put in there with him for tank mates. I was thinking some convicts or another type of cichlid, he isnt very aggressive at all which is a plus. He has just recently gotten very attached to my gourami I think he's in love

I think you're pretty stocked as of right now.

I'd say you're fully stocked as it is.

If your looking for activity why not try giant danios. Get 3 or 4 to fill in the middle /top of your tank. Make sure your top is covered as they like to jump. IMO if do regular water changes and have decent filtration then you could add a couple more fish. Keeping growth in mind your choices will be limited.
