[oliviamiles]

Fish and I was jus wondering if I can put them in my 90G community chilid tank? I have two blue cobalts one yellow lab one achii I believe its called one peacock cichlid and a leopard cichlid

I don't think you want to mix south american and african cichlids. They require totally different water.

This would be a poor decision. Angels require soft water with a low pH, but African cichlids prefer hard water and high pH.

Not Only that but Africans sometimes can become more aggressive and nip the long flowing fins of the Angels.

I would not recommend that at all. But then i have blood parrots woth my angelfish...

I believe the way African cichlids and New world Cichlids signal aggression/submission is very different and this would lead to potential conflict in establishing a hierarchy. Its tricky enough doing this with Cichlids anyway without adding layers of complication...
