Wondering about mixing cichlids. In general, I understand that mixing American and African cichlids isn't advised, but I know it can be done, even if not ideal, depending on species and conditions, bc I see them mixed in show tanks at respectable fish stores.
Specifically, I have about 25 central and south American cichlids in a 90 & 95 gal tank, divided by size. (Roughly 9 4" in the 90, 15 1-2" in the 95) I have tried to learn as much as I can, but there's so much to know. I currently have the bigger ones in one setup, the smaller in the other. I'm guessing this is ideal for now, but should I try to group them more as they mature? Or just keep an eye on behaviors?
My collection includes: green severum, red spotted severum, two blue acaras,chanchito, nicaraguan, two geophagus (different species), black convict, Jack Dempsey, pink Jack Dempsey, green terror, Texas, two rainbows, keyhole, firemouth, pantano, blood parrot, black belt, red head synspilum. Also have a pictus catfish, pleco, and bichir mixed in.
Also, how do you attach pics on posts?
