What size setup? What kind of filtration? Can you provide a list of the fauna? I can tell you from the pics that the Gouramis are probably not a good mix with the cichlids, as the cichlids will most likely tear the Gourami up

It's a 55 and gots a hang on the back filtration. The gourami are top feeder and they stay up on top so I think that why they do not get must with

Well, if you're asking for advice on stocking, I'd go ahead and remove the guppies and gouramis. Might work for a week, might work for a year, might not work at all. For best results, you should only keep cichlids (plecos and certain catfish will work as well)

I didn't know you can keep Nemo with Mbuna.

It's for sure that as soon as the cichlids mouths get big enough the guppies will be lunch, and my oldest Acei owns the top left of the tank and would go after the gourami. The gourami won't have a chance if one of the cichlids decides to fight for territory.

The Guppys are there for them to eat. But people said gourami do go in cichlids tanks

People: 1. lied. 2. are careless with their fish. 3. were misinformed.

If you care for the fish you keep, you will not mix community fish with cichlids

I don't see why not..

Gourami can go in South American Cichlid tanks. With fish like Angels, Geo's, and Festie's. African cichlids are not the same.
