Would what get along with African Cichlids?
African cichlids come from Lake Victoria, Lake Tanyangyika, and Lake Malawi.
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.
African cichlids, barbs, livebearers, synodontis catfish, loaches, cichlids, tetras, mailed catfish, labyrinthfish, and rainbowfish.

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.
No, African cichlids and goldfish should not be kept together in the same tank because they have different water temperature and habitat requirements. Mixing them can lead to stress, aggression, and potential health issues for both species.
