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.

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.

It's best to maintain species-specific tanks to ensure the health and well-being of all fish involved.

It's crucial to research each potential tank mate's compatibility and care requirements before adding them to a cichlid tank.
