It does matter, two male Midas cichlids will tear each other apart, and as far as I am aware it is some what difficult to mix male and female too as the males tend to kill the female if he doesnt like her.Kevdogg852000 said:Yes as long as your tank is big enough, color variations don't really matter. You should try to pair off your cichlids as wel. If you have a big enough tank however, it shouldn't matter what gender combination you have.
Well lucky you huh? I never said it was impossible to keep male and female together, but you try keeping 2 males together in a 55 or a 70 I guarantee it will end in tears. But go ahead take this guys advice since he obviously knows best...Kevdogg852000 said:you are full of it. I had two midas cichlids that weren't paired off for 2 years in a 55!!! I eventually traded them in. Sure there were fights, but 2 fish in a 70 gallon THEY DID NOT KILL EACH OTHER.
