deffinitley will not be able to put the electric blue cichlid with those fish, not sure which electric blue your talking about though, there are a couple different cichlids with the commoon name electric blue

Cichlids should really remain with just other cichlids, unless you're talking about a blue ram dwarf cichlid... what size is the tank?

1x iridecant shark

This fish is not suitable for home aquaria. Iridescent sharks grow gigantic. Go into the catfish forum and take a look at the "pangasius catfish" pinned thread

1x silver shark

These are best kept in groups of at least 3, in 125 gallon tanks.

1x ruby shark

These don't get on too well with the Silver sharks, as they're a similar shape.

6x neon tetras

Expect the Silver Sharks to eat these once they grow big enough.

1x clown roach

These are shoaling fish who need groups of 3 (although a lot of people believe 6) and require tanks as big as 90 gallons

1x catfish dont know which one

Bit vague, anything you can tell us about it?

1x figure of 8 puffer fish

These fish are not suitable or community tanks as they are fin nippers. Furthermore, they are brackish fish which require salt in their water, which the other fish will not tolerate.


As you can tell, your selection of fish wasn't ideal! I wouldn't recommend it again.

this is the fish im onna bout

andi know thisis the wrong placetobe asking butare cichlids any harder to lookafter than normal tropical fish

 

[piper]

Yes they are. Some are very aggressive and require alot of space. If your new to this hobby then I would start out with some thing else.

r those fish you had in a tank together before or r they just a list of fish you would like to have?

 

[Boxcar Muzzdogg]

If you really like cichlids, then an mbuna setup would be doable in your tank, mbunas would be small, about 3-5 inches, and they are very colorful, but you would not be able to keep any fish other than mbunas

I actually had all of these fish living together and had no problems apart from the ruby shark was always hidden
