It you don't have the tank space then don't buy fish

Like your other fish they will end up dead.

Understood but what I was trying to say is that the African Riverine and Madagascar fish have similar water parameters as CA/SA cichlids and that's why you see Jewels and Kribs (more so in community set ups) as well as Paratilapia and Tilapia mixed with them. Rift-lake cichlids are a totally different story as you suggest.TrikkyMakk;4011987; said:I don't keep africans and so I was saying what the general rule is. I know people mix them but often the reason not to is the water requirements.
Maybe if they were fry?UTEP;4017599; said:You really had a Gar, CK, and 2 Pacus in that small 55?
