That way people can tell you if they have been successful with the combos you are thinking about. Be aware that many cichlids would prefer to have the run of the neighbourhood. You may like to consider fewer species but spectacular and large specimens...sometimes the way with cichlids and what I decided to do. All the best for your search  ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |

You should take a look at the profiles and decide if you want to go with Malawi, Tanganyikan, Victorian, West African, Central American or South American. These groups can vary quite a bit in their diet and care requirements and most of them should not be mixed together. South and Central American can be mixed and you can also mix in West african cichlids with them but the rest really should be kept with others from the same region. Jason |
