Hi,


I just bought a 1.5 inch Haitiensis and I was wondering If I could put it in a 8 gallon tank with 7-8 african cichlids, would the african cichlids kill the Haitiensis or vise versa?

Thanks,
Alex

I called it!!! Lol


If your tank has alot of hiding spots and your cichlids are of similiar size u may get lucky but if theres a significant size difference then goodbye!!!

Strong current can break up the aggression along w/ 72-76° temp and proper feeding!

No, haitian will bloat because africans are very nippy and will pick on him.

Your just asking for bloat if your going to mix a juvenile haitian with africans
 
Try using the search engine on mfk for questions about haitiensis. You will find lots of good info and different threads

Why mix them anyway? Africans require water around 8.2 ph and above, the Haitian is down around 7.2 ph. Why give it more reasons to bloat and die?

I thought they were found at a bit higher ph than 7.2? I think I read something a while back, I'll have to dig it up. Still agree 100%, don't mix them, experienced CA keepers like those that have posted in this thread have a hard enough time with haits as it is.
Where have you been madness?
