i was wondering if you can put any chiclid with eachother like african and american together

It is possible with certain species but if you don't have any experience with cichlids I wouldn't try it. What species did you have in mind?

In terms of water quality- yes you can, not the rift cichlids, but there are many african river cichlids that live in exactly the same water conditions and temperatures as many of the amazon cichlids. The big rivers in the world as long as they are from similar temperatures often have exactly the same water perameters, but the rift lakes have too much hardness and ph differences for them to be mixed in with river species..

Youll still get compatibility issues though, probably fighting, and disease issues, But with good quarantine and careful compatability stocking its doable. Jewel cichlids and kribs for example live in very similar water values to the SA cichlids. Ive mixed kribs and rams for years in big tanks with no issues.

Its better practice not to mix them, but if youre experienced, it can be done. Its not something for newbies and beginners to try though. Mixing the wrong species could lead to serious fighting and deaths.

Though its probably never reccomended, it's quite possible. I do it quite often in my tanks.

You just need to plan out the fishes right. Don't mix any wild caught fish, or F1/F2, so they can be easily adjusted to neutral pH (I keep most of my tanks at 7.0 just for the ease of transplanting and mixing fish). pH isn't quite as important with most species of fish, most will thrive with 7.0 water. Discus have even become adjusted to higher pH and readily spawn.

A key factor is mixing only non aggressive or slightly aggressive fish, since fish from different regions use different forms of communicating aggression. Usually passive fish won't bother each other and get along fine.
