African cichlids are PH 8.2 while babrbs are lower. You could acclimate the barb up or the Malawi down in PH but neither would do as well. Also, African cichlids are very aggressive and the barb, who is semi-aggressive, would probably not survive for long.

When do you take the female cichlid away from the baby's?

Can you keep swordtails with a jack dempsey?
no. the jack dempsey cichlid is highly aggressive. you might be able to get by with it for awhile but when the jack dempsey gets bigger there is no doubt that you might wake up one morning and some of them might be missing. (Jack Dempsey will most likely eat them).and if you are thinking of keeping a jack dempsey make sure you have the correct habitat and feed it the correct food.lots of plants and big rocks, sand is suggested. (they will move the sand or small gravel/rock no matter what)they are very territorial and i strongly advise you have more than 50 U.S. Gal. otherwise your cichlid will be very unhappy (the jack dempsey gets LARGE)also if you like this cichlid so much you want to buy 2, it is not a good idea. they don't even like looking at their own reflection (my jack dempsey cichlid will sit and hit his head up against the glass because he doesnt like to think theres another cichlid.)if you do, do this, is strongly advise you look at correct tank mates. i hear that the jack dempsey can get along with an Oscar cichlid, (pick a cichlid, just not one that looks alot like your jack).food: frozen blood worms mainly, and periodically feed Cichlid food (i recommend Cichlid Gold by Hikari because it will give your fish great color as it gets bigger)oh and if you buy any type of cichlid, even a jack dempsey, make sure you buy stress coat. it promotes the growth of your cichlids fins, and if you buy the right kind it can de-chlorify your water.hope my advice helps! :]

No it will not. However, if there are 3 or more tiger barbs, then they might get the courage to nip at its fins. And i Highly advise you not to keep tiger barbs with goldfish because tiger barbs live in warm water (about 70-85 degrees). and gold fish live in colder water. The tiger barb would ultimately die.
