lfelipebodeba Small Fry Posts: 11 Kudos: 14 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Apr-2005	I have 2 jewel cichlids on a 90 g tank.. Would a pair of Oscars, or a pair of Yellow lab be ok ?

Jewels are ok with even tough cichlids, and will probably rule the tank with timid ones. They are very hardy and can stand up for themselves. They even get pretty mean when they have fry to protect so watch out with other fish. Good luck with them! Watch out with Oscars, they like to eat anything thats smaller than they are.

They have entirely different dietary and water requirements. I've kept Jewels in my mixed species Malawi tank (Red Zebras, Johanni, Kenyi, Electric Yellows) without any trouble at all.
