I would like to put my female green terror (gold saum) into my 75 gallon African cichlid tank. Here is the list of fish in the tank:
1x M yellowtail acei
2x F red zebra (‍they are orange)
1x M peacock (largest in tank currently and boss)
1x F black cichlid
1x Nimbochromis venustus/giraffe hap
1x M electric yellow
1x F electric yellow
1x F Kennyi
The Africans are not full grown yet and the female GT wil be the biggest cichlid in the tank.
 
Yup agree with collin, african come from lakes in africa with lots of mineral content, hard water lots of calcium and magnesium, where as S american cichlids come from water ways and tributaries with very little to no calcium and magnesium, very soft acidic water. Depending on your water one or the other species will suffer.
 
I'd advise against it as well.

A full grown green terror pretty much needs a 75 gallon to itself. These are big territorial fish.

Africans thrive under more heavily stocked tanks to disperse aggression. This is not the case for American cichlids.

Then we have the hard/soft water argument that is completely valid.
 
I agree with the above
