I want to put some electric yellow's in with my butterfly in a 55gallon. Good idea or bad. Butterflyfish Last edited by butterflyfish at 04-Jan-2006 22:10

I'm no expert on them but I had a look at the water parameters needed by one (http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/butterfly.xml) and they are way too acidic for the african cichlids you are suggesting. if you want cichlids try something more peaceful like angels.
