mixing africans and central american cichlids

[big train]

I have tried ths setup a while back set the p.h. at 7.5 and everyone seemed healthey but the africans are small and grow slow they where quickly outgrown and eaten by the likes of rd,o,jag,texas.I think if u get your africans medium size and the ca 's small u could enjoy this setup for a year or so till the ca 's got big.

Wild caughts will need different parameters so probaly won't work but captive bred will be ok I mixed all types of cichlids from all continants over the years with no problem except normal cichlid aggression.

NOT ALL NEW WORLD CICHLIDS REQUIRE SOFT ACIDIC WATER... For all those who say the parameters are different please read this article. It is generally the SA's who reuire soft acidic water.
