99% of the African cichlids are very aggressive fish and will more than likely cause the untimely death of anyother type of fish (and usually same type) that you place within the confine of your aquarium. Also, one should note that PH levels differ between the two. While you can acclimate up and down with fish (Most African cichlids locally are kept PH 7.0 instead of recommended PH 8.2) not all will take the change in stride.

∙ 12y agoDude, I wouldn't try it. Unless maybe they were BIG central American and TINY africans. Them African cichlids are some real MEAN bast****s. (I love cichlids, but I'm never having any more of THEM, hunh.) In any case, African cichlids like alkaline, hard water and central/south American cichlids like acid, soft water.
Really, they just don't hardly 'go' together.

Can honey dwarf gourami live with dwarf gourami?
I would advise not to add a dwarf gourami with a honey dwarf gourami. The honey gourami is very shy and much smaller than the dwarf gourami, and the dwarf gourami is prone to being very agressive. Depending on your luck, you might get a gourami with a nicer temperment. I wouldn't suggest it though.
