What can you put with rest lake cichlids

[troy tucker]

I guess the turtle to?

I like the turtle!

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

...especially African cichlid. These guys are super aggressive.

Ah, I see the issue here. Be sure to personally validate any information received from a Petco/Petsmart employee

[cichlidman2012]

it is rare you get good advice from petsmart/petco. i have come across the occasional informed employee, but mainly they just do not know anything.

i agree that your africans will eventually eat the guppies, and harass the gouramis to death. as they get bigger they will expand their territory, so there is no top of the tank anymore for them.

like troy said the gouramis can go with the more easy going SA cichlids, but africans are another deal all together. pleco can stay

I swear you can't listen to petco or petsmart they will tell you any thing, and even some people that own mom and pop stores are no better. No thanks to petsmart I had the worst mix of fish a person could have when I started out. Wound up with 1 fish that killed every other fish that he could get his teeth on. The people on here won't lie to you because we really love our fish and want what's best for them.

The Guppys are there for them to eat.

LOL Beth might disagree.

Actually they just work there, and maybe they just don't care. I would recommend you do your own research before buying any fish that you don't know. Make sure they are comparable in the same tank.

[cichlidman2012]

I buy the tank for Africans so I know what they be and all just got top feeder because I did not have any
