	Jewel cichlids and African cichlids
lady Fingerling Posts: 22 Kudos: 18 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Mar-2005	I brought a jewel cichlid to add to my Malawi African cichlids tank the other day. The person at the LSF told me that jewels and Malawi African cichlids are compatible, is this true?

Hyper, super aggressive eater, and definitely doesn't fall in the social structure of the malawi setup. In the end I returned mine. Give it a try, but don't be afraid to return him. Best to give them a mix diet of green, flake and etc. Mine would go crazy over most greens and they helps prevent against bloat from over-eating. Last edited by openwater at 28-Mar-2005 17:10
