plz move to the right place if misposted thanks .

i have seen these gorgeous fish called malawi cichlids haplochromis and yellow labs and was wondering can these be kept with community fish like guppies and neon ,tetras ?

or what is recomended ?

what size groups and what size tank ?

thanks kaz x
 
nope these are african cichlids, because of their agression levels and pH requirements you can't keep them with standard community trops.

you need to set up an african cichlid tank for them, if you hop over to the african cichlid forum they will give you all teh advise you need on how to do this.
 
thanks i will give them a miss then i reckon im nearly at my limit anyway ,

thanks for info .

yeh thats what i was told at the lfs today .

so decided on a shrimp in the end best decision i think , he or she (unsure what it is) is so comical i didnt think id get one but once i saw the little blighter i was hooked ,

reckon i must be up to my limit now

64 litre community tank and very peaceful all get along great i must add.

6 male guppies ohhh so pretty boys

6 glowlight tetras my sweethearts

5 neon tetras sooo tiny

2 corydora peppered catfish my gentle cleaners
