I'm planning out the conversion of my 40g tank to cichlids, and hoping I can get some feedback on potential tankmates.
Currently my tank only has one Spotted Raphael Catfish, and is completely cycled. I have been having a bit of trouble with other fish, as I have fairly hard water, so I'm going to an African setup.
My local fish store is getting in quite a few cichlids, and I am curious about the possibility of mixing the following. I have done as much research as I can on them to see about compatibility, but not a lot is out there that is specific.
Pseudotropheus Ice Blue (Ice Blue Zebra)
Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei" (Acei)
Aulonocara (Ruby Red Peacock)
Aulonocara Hansbaenschi (Red Peacock)
Aulonocara Stuartgranti "Maleri" (Sunshine Peacock)
And probably a couple of Bristlenose Plecos...
What do you all think? Any particular ones I should or should not mix? I couldn't find any specific info regarding mixing Pseudotropheus and Aulonocara, only not mixing the peacocks with Mbunas (mostly Labs I would imagine?) And for that matter, would Pseudotropheus be ok with Labs?
I appreciate any info or input, thanks!
