You put non-Cichlids in with a Cichlid or was it killing it's own kind? Those and tiger fish are the most aggressive fresh water fish I have come across, much more so than piranhas.
It went down like this, I told my wife I would like a fish tank at some point, so she found someone on craigslist selling a tank with four fish, the stand and accessories for really cheap (moving sale type deal).

We picked everything up set up the tank and immediately they started attacking each other whenever they swam close to each other. We started with three convict cichlids and the blood parrot (also a cichlid). Total survival of the fittest, the blood parrot is bigger than my fist so he was in total control. I was considering selling him to a fish store, but it's that whole wife present thing.
