The water temperature should be near 76-78'F(24'-25'C). They can be in water as low as 72'F(22'C) and as high as 82'F(27'C) but 76-78'F (24'-25'C).is a safe place to keep the water temperature.

Will dinosaur bichir get along with African cichlid?

Yes. I have a Dinosaur Bichir in an African Cichlid community tank and it gets along very well. The only problem I have found is at feeding time. The African Cichlids sometimes get in such a frenzy that they eat most of the food before it gets down to the bottom. I have to watch the tank to make sure he gets food because if he isn't paying attention he'll miss his meal unless I add more.

Can a Central American salvini cichlid egg layer crossbreed with South African peacock cichlids frontosas or mbunas mouthbrooders As I have a female egg laying salvini cichlid but no male?

In addition, as it would not allow me to type any further, eggs have been laid by the female salvini central America cichlid, but as stated no male exists in tank of that area, other tank mates include mouthbrooders such as frontosa, peacock cichlids, and mbuna's all from south Africa, so I am curious if there is any possiblity that these eggs are fertile, as I have many breeding pair, but the female that has laid these eggs is the only egg layer in the tank and has no mate of same genre, any ideas if eggs could be fertilized by a mouthbrooding cichlid such as the tankmates from south Africa?

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.
