Would what get along with African Cichlids?
African cichlids come from Lake Victoria, Lake Tanyangyika, and Lake Malawi.
yes
African Cichlids are from the Great Rift Lakes of East Africa. Mainly Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika.
In the wild, African Cichlids eat plants like blue-green algae and organic detritus. These plants are high in fiber, but provide little nutritional content, so cichlids eat continuously to maintain their metabolism.
The Silver Dollar comes from the soft acid waters of the Amazon. They are not at all suited to the hard alkaline water required for African cichlids.
You should NEVER try to mix African Cichlids with Amazonian Cichlids. It simply can not work. If your tank is set up properly for Africans your water conditions will be slowly killing the Oscar. Please for the Oscars sake get it out of there and in future do some homework/research before mixing species together.

Yes, but you usually have to breed them with convict cichlids, because they are hybrids and the males are often sterile.
