Can you cross lakes?

Depends on who you ask...I think if you choose very carefully, it can be done. I wouldn't just throw any Tangs in with Malawi's but I think with proper research it can be done. I have all 3 lakes in my tank and it is going great. I keep my water so it is within everyone's range. I have a couple Calvus and Comps for Tangs (these guys don't bother anyone and they're awesome) a pair of Peacocks and some Vics. I tried to pick fish from each lake that were more mild mannered...No aggressive one's.
wait are you asking like breeding? Or stocking? If stocking I mix peacocks and smaller tangs all the time.
I have compressiceps mixed in with my vics. I've also got some other vics with my malawi haps. So far I haven't had any problems.
its debatable but i have seen a lot of hobbyist do it and it has worked for them i am a purist so i dont mix but if i wanted to i wouldnt be afraid of doing so.
I hade some Clavus' mixed in with my Haps and Peacocks and they appeared to be fine. After putting them in my Tang tank with other Calvus' and Compressiceps they really came alive and hung out all over the tank, instead of hiding in the rocks and quickly grabbing a bit of food and darting back to their spot.
That should work out fine. right now i have a 60 gallon tank mixed with:
red ear slider
map turtle
green terror
giant danio
compressiceps
polypterus
mono sabae
marble wolf goby
alligator pleco
They all get along fine and have been for the last two years.
