types of cichlids that get along
South America also houses several larger river cichlids. These species will often get along well in aquariums. For example, various species of freshwater angelfish and the discus fish make great tank mates.Both species prefer soft, acidic water and, importantly, grow to about the same size.frican cichlids prefer hard, alkaline water. Most are very aggressive, but in a large tank, dissimilar-patterned species can get along. You do want to avoid keeping closely related species together, since they may produce undesirable hybrids. For example, no two Auloncara species should share an aquarium.
