If you want to mix fish with African Cichlids, the best thing to do is to mix a schooling or shoaling fish with them. I've had success with Tiger Barbs, just as the talker suggested. They are a shoaling fish that tend to hang together, and a large body of such fish tends to intimidate the Cichlids, and they leave them alone. Mixing American and African Cichlids, is usually, a No No. And he's absolutely right about having more fish in the tank. The best thing I ever did, in my African Cichlid aquarium, was to add more fish. When I had only 4 Mbunas, in the same tank, the aggression level was through the roof. But, when I added 5 more Cichlids to that same aquarium, and eventually ended up with 10 of them, the aggression significantly diminished. When there are too many of them, they can't single out just 1 fish. With 10 of them, in the same tank, they still chase each other, but they do not and can not single out just 1, as I already pointed out.
I want to add one point that is often overlooked. Adding two african cichlids to less aggressive tankmates who have established social behavior is a LOT more likely to work than adding a less aggressive fish to a tank of cichlids.
My mixed tank has 35 cichlids of mixed type ,pearl gouramis and dwarf gouramis ,parrot fish,skirted tetras,bleeding heart tetras, green barbs,plattys and swordtails and bala sharks.. all been living happy together for over a year
Just added some spotted silver dollars to my community cichlid tank. Seem to be going well apart from my rainbow shark chasing and nibbling on them. But this video really helped out thanks alot. Your a champion 👌
Like the video says, if you put them together when they are young you will have a higher success rate. I've mixed Piranas (5) with convicts (2), oscars (2), red devils (2), pike, catfish, algae eater, alligator gar, texas cichlid and green terrors in a 125g tank with success. The convicts, oscars and red devils all successfully had babies. I moved them out of the tank once they started swimming around though. I have no problems mixing fish and have been quite successful at it. Who cares what others think! Thanks for providing some good ideas on different species to mix in the tank. I do like variety.
My cichlids are around 3-4 inches long and have had them for a few years now, my corydoras were introduced to them a year or two after having them and maybe 5 years later they are still going. The cichlids really don't pay any mind to them, though they absolutely love my pleco
It all depends on cichlid behaviour, bumble bee cichlids will kill most other fish but I’ve had my ghost knife fish in with my African cichlids for over a year and they thrive together
I have cichlids with crayfish and vampire crabs and they are awesome I'm looking to try and add some shrimps and I also have a common pleco and a clown pleco...looking for a sunrise pleco...
I have a Malawi eye biter , with an angelfish , 2 geophagus altifrons and a bosmani rainbow fish they get along great I also keep my water moderately hard for my Malawi cichlid ... always better to keep a soft water fish in hard water then a hard water fish in soft water because the hard water fish requires more minerals when the soft water fish uses less minerals in the water . Harder water keeps ph stable to
RT sharks get big and aggressive with Africans (as they do with any medium sized fish). I've tried it a few times. The shark can't do much damage but when the cichlid retaliates it can get messy. Big barbs are best imo.
If you add fish in young age and similar size can normaly work.Fish that are good tank mates for my african cichlids that really worked for me: silver dollars,gouramis but not dwarf,silver sharks,monodactylus sebae,orange finned loaches,algae eaters,tiger barbs,jack dempseys,surinam geophagus.You also need luck and it has to do with how many africans you got in the tank.Aulonocaras-peacocks can tolerate easier other fish but mbunas are more aggressive and territorial!!
knowing this mix had the potential to NOT work i tried it anyway and have had great luck all in a 100 gal. i have 4 skirt tetras, a silver dollar, 6 corys, a common pleco in with a livingstonii, dragon blood trio, ngara flametail trio, imperial tigress, red empress and azureus. cichlids did go in fairly young and are all 4+ inches now
I have a yellow lab a solid blue mbuna 4 buenos Aires tetras a 3 inch bichir and a 2 inch jewel cichlid and a bristle nose pleco in a 20 gallon long and its working fine the africans are little agressive with territory sometimes but overall its a complete success
I have angel and ghost knife with cichlids and they are fine, it’s trial and error guys can mix what you want! I’ve been told I can mix fish with what already got but I didn’t listen and did it and it was all okay. The more you have in your tank the better cause it takes the aggression out of the tank
Throw a slider into any aggressive tank and you’ll find you know have a community tank. Anytime there is a bigger predator in a tank the rest of the tank behaves.. I have cichlids of all types with Dani’s, Neons, guppies of all types.. rainbow sharks, Bala sharks, I even have rosy reds in there that survived and grew up lol.. they all get along and play nice together or else the big guy up top comes down and eats them. The guppies are more prone to eating their own fry then having them eaten by the cichlids lol.. tetras are out of place though as my tank is set up for the rest with moderate hardness and medium high PH but I love how they all school together and they are really more a feeder fish as my turtles love them..
Warning: I've have an african cichild that try to over take the turtles...they killed him and caused a right mess of the tank, killing my filter...granted I still have cichlids and others with my turtles as they tend not to care about earing the live fish but they aren't afraid to kill anything that steps out of line...it's a fine balance but it's mostly worked so far.
I have angels and cichlids in the same tank and they get along well appart from the angels lay eggs they push the cichlids away but no physical contact
Our red tail and loach got killed in my cichlid tank, so I decided to just stick to cichlids, just a bit of info it can happen, it all depends on the temperament of the individual fish 🐠
A friend of mine though Gourami and Cichlids would look great together. The visual appeal only lasted about ten minutes before it got ugly. Six new cichlids were added to a tank with twenty Gourami. Only eight survived by the end of the day and had to be separated. Don’t mix Gourami and Cichlids.
@@cyanblue5888 Man that sucks. Angels are so pretty but some cichlids are just mean. I usually don’t add new cichlids unless it’s a group. They tend to b less aggressive when there are many other fish around. Bigger tanks are always good too. I usually stick to five gallons per cichlid in tanks 30 gallons or more.
I have a african cichlid tank all are quite small about 2-3 inches and I was wondering if there is any oddball fish which could go in there like maybe 1 spiky eel or one African knifefish
Hi their , I have Angel's with my mbuna its weird but it does work for me ! The parameters are smack in the middle and have bin fin for a year . Prob not a good idea but they bin together since babies
Ty so vm!!! I was wondering about the cichalid and the pleco cuz I've often seen the cichalid nipping at the pleco he is a healthy sized tank so I didnt pay it much nevermind lol I was thinking swordfish and the such but I'm taking those goldfish out rite now it helps to explain his apparent anxiety ur advice has been exactly wat I was looking for
I have a bristlenose pleco and Featherfin catfish with my cichlids. I worry they dont get enough food as the cichlids are voracious eaters. What can i do to make sure they get food without overfeeding the tank?
I recently brought some cichlids not sure what they are but there yellow and blue I have there all nearly full size I have a red tail in the tank to start with will that be fine
I wasn't around in my home.. I came back and see my lichis are dead and everybodys feeding on them.. There are 2 peacocks 2 dolphins and 2 similar cichlids on whom I have doubts.. Do you think it's them??
I put 5 silver shark in my 350 gallon aquarium and my BABIES ripped his eyes out fins off gills off everything sometimes these beautiful devils can be surprising.
I had two Pakistani loaches on my 500 liter tank. They were still small, but they were so devilish that I had to sell them away. The would go and pick all the other fishes gills. Even my big Angel fishes were bothered about those loaches. Besides, I have successfully mixed many of the fishes you said is not good idea.
Hi Paul, bought 3 more cichlids from Majestic and now its 12 large cichlids in mine 305 ltrs tank running on 2 Fluval Canister one being 205 and 1 405 with total filteration 1660 ltrs per hour. How many Cichlids could I stock on this?
Hey I was wondering if someone can help me out I’ve had my tank set up for a while I have 5 cherry barbs, 3 snails,6 electric blue rams and 1 Agassiz's Cichlid and it’s been working out pretty well I know yellow labs are normally aggressive because my dad used to breed them but I wanted to add 1 I believe it’s a male a bit smaller then my rams and I noticed it’s trying to attack the other fish and snails should I be concerned and give him back to a local fish store or should I just keep an eye on him?

We have an Oscar and blood parrots in a tank full of African Cichlids. Oscar is older than the rest therefore much larger. He's kind of the game warden/boss. When the others get territorial, Oscar puts them in their place. No bites. He just swims towards them, and they calm down. It works.

i have 25 kenyi cichlids which are quite small together since birth, Will it get along if i upgrade them to a bigger tank once they are fully grown? will they fight with each other?
cichlids for the most part won't bother crayfish or plecos just saying. I keep those about 10 cichlid, 2 crayfish, 1 pleco, all get along. adding clown soon, doubt they will fight
Please review PH requirements. The vast majority of African cichlids require hard alkaline water. Compromising the water parameters for softer water fish and African cichlids is not beneficial to either’s health.

Cichlids in general tend to be less aggressive towards fish that are alien to them.

"Not a good idea" In other words the Cichlids will murder them? Great video mate! Greetings from Canada!
