I didnt wana start a new tank as i dont have the room so i decided to mix cichlid species. I started with a jewel cichlid and she seems to be doing fine so today i bought a Ice Blue Zebra Cichlid. My tank has the following other fish and it a 75 gallon soon to be upgraded to a 125 or 150.

Tank list
TURQUOISE SEVERUM
3 bichirs
firemouth
Gold severum to be added when a lil bigger
1 angel fish thats being moved to another smaller tank
pike cichlid
pleco that will be moved to my sisters tank as I'm not a reall fan of then and a tank doesnt need him anyway.

I'm looking for info on this fish and do you think it will work. My ph is already 7.5 and i was told it can work as long as the other cichlids dont get too big and arent too aggressive.. Anyone??
 
I don't think it will work long term. There are different aggression levels, diets, water parameters and stocking preferences.
 
seems to be working very well. No aggression problems as the most aggressive fish in my tank is my firemouth but he never backs it up... If something happens I'll set-up another tank
