So. Amer. Cichlid lives in South Amrica and African Cichlids live in lake malawi in africa
As long as you put in African cichlids with them it should be okay. If you put a south American cichlid, with a African cichlid, they might attack each other because they are not from the same area of the world, and they have never seen them before.
A Frontosa is an African Cichlid, Lake Malawi I believe. I have heard of hybrids bu have never personally observed any. I would say it is possible for them to breed with other cichlid types.
it probably will get really fat
The peacock cichlid is considered a mouth brooder. During mating, you will see the mail and female circling each other and popping their fins a little bit.. it can be hard to catch, but when they are aggressively circling each other, the female drops eggs. After that, the male will pass over the eggs and fertilize them and when the female circles back around, she scoops the eggs in her mouth.. You will notice the fish stop eating after this.. that is the first indicator. You will also notice that the female will look like she is chewing alot; what she is actually doing is moving the eggs around so they will not rot..
Depending on the species these fish can live up to around 35 years. I have a 19 year old Julidochromis regani "Nsumbu", a Cichlid from Lake Tanganyika.
they should go together depending on what africans you have and how big they are. i have a convict female south american cichlid and a jewel male african cichlid that laid eggs and now have fry.
Parrot fish are a man made cichlid. They did not evolve in nature but were made in a laboratory. They lay eggs so they can not get pregnant.
There are many. Far too many to list here.
yes
Yes.
A pregnant cichlid should ideally be kept in a tank with a minimum size of 20 gallons to provide enough space for her to swim comfortably and reduce stress. However, larger tanks, such as 40 gallons or more, would be even better to accommodate potential fry and maintain water quality.
