I've seen a few places online where West African cichlids like kribensis and jewels have been mixed with New World cichlids. Has anyone done this? Are the water parameters similar with any of these?
 
duanes duanes can speak to the exact parameter needs better than anyone.
I mix Kribs with my American cichlids with no issues - the Kribs are too small to be on the larger cichlids’s radar.
Most of the commonly available SA’s line up with most West Africans well enough for your typical hobbiest.
