Fish From Different Parts Of World

[LongS]

I myself mix fish such as guppies, minnows, Certain tetra species, gouramis and various loaches in a community tank.

I know however that it is not advisable to mix african and south american cichlids and other fish from different regions.

What is peoples experiences with community fish and mixing?

my fish in my com tank are from all over the world too and live in peace. as long as the water is ok for them and theyre not livivng in too high temp, pH, water flow etc etc there is no problems except compatability but research will guide you on that.
