The Silver Dollar comes from the soft acid waters of the Amazon. They are not at all suited to the hard alkaline water required for African cichlids.

What kind of fish can African Chiclids get along with?

African cichlids are best kept with other African cichlids of similar size and aggression levels. Mixing them with fish from other regions can result in aggression and compatibility issues due to different water parameter requirements and behavioral patterns. It's recommended to research specific species to ensure compatibility in an African cichlid tank.


Can your African chiclids live with your gourami?

99% of the African cichlids are very aggressive fish and will more than likely cause the untimely death of anyother type of fish (and usually same type) that you place within the confine of your aquarium. Also, one should note that PH levels differ between the two. While you can acclimate up and down with fish (Most African cichlids locally are kept PH 7.0 instead of recommended PH 8.2) not all will take the change in stride.


What is the best pH level for African ciclid fish?

the best pH for African cichlids is anywhere from 7.5 to 8.5 they like a high blue colour if you have a pH tester.


Why do my cichlids fight?

easily.. when breeding, fighting for territory.. or if they are aggressive :D you will have to do research to determine what fish are compatible with what.. and individual fish may vary too.. Is your cichlid real calm and passive? then dont put him in with an aggressive fish.. just pick out what fish you want and call your LFS (local fish store) for help.
