Beanies & Black Nasties

[terrors r us]

Does anyone have these two species living together???
If not ....what is your opinion of this????
say in a 200 gal. tank???

I have never seen or read of this combo. before.........

ca/sa cichlids, ime, tend to have the most aggression towards conspecifics and other cichlids similar in appearance. haitiensis and beani are awefully similar so I really don't think they'd do well together. if you were going to try mixing them i'd mix them with something with a completely different appearance like a midas, synspilum, etc.
