It's generally not advisable to keep brackish puffers with African cichlids. Puffers require specific water conditions that may not be suitable for cichlids, which thrive in freshwater environments. Additionally, puffers can exhibit aggressive behaviors, making them a poor tank mate for the territorial and sometimes aggressive cichlids. It's best to maintain species-specific tanks to ensure the health and well-being of all fish involved.

Can you put south American cichlids and African cichlids in the same tank?
Yes! GSPs can be kept with African Cichlids but only can they be introduced together when both are young and in a big enough aquarium with lots of plants and decor. Both will learn to co exist together but keep them well fed. Be careful when choosing your Cichlids as some are not peaceful for example TEXAS CICHLIDS but fire mouths, jewels and malawis should be fine. GSPs are aggressive fish when mature so be aware and prepared that some tank mates could become dinner at any time. R.Martin Marine biologist.
Can i put parrot fish and African cichlids in a 55 gallon tank?
It's generally not advisable to keep parrot fish and African cichlids together in a 55-gallon tank due to their differing temperaments and environmental needs. African cichlids are typically more aggressive and territorial, which can stress the more peaceful parrot fish. Additionally, their water parameters may vary, as African cichlids prefer harder, alkaline water while parrot fish thrive in softer conditions. It's best to choose species that are more compatible in terms of temperament and water requirements.
Can you put a freshwater Cichlid with other freshwater fish?

Why do my cichlids fight?
easily.. when breeding, fighting for territory.. or if they are aggressive :D you will have to do research to determine what fish are compatible with what.. and individual fish may vary too.. Is your cichlid real calm and passive? then dont put him in with an aggressive fish.. just pick out what fish you want and call your LFS (local fish store) for help.
What fish can i put my perona with?
Perona cichlids are known to be aggressive and territorial, so it is best to keep them with other large, robust cichlids in a species-specific tank. Mixing them with other fish may lead to aggression and potential harm to the other tankmates. It's important to research and plan for suitable tankmates that can coexist peacefully with perona cichlids.
