Can an African cichlids live with neon tetras?

African cichlids generally should not be kept with neon tetras due to significant differences in temperament and environmental needs. African cichlids are often aggressive and territorial, which can stress or harm the smaller, more peaceful neon tetras. Additionally, cichlids typically thrive in harder, more alkaline water, while neon tetras prefer softer, more acidic conditions. Therefore, it's best to keep these species in separate tanks to ensure their well-being.

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.

Can your African chiclids live with your gourami?

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.
