Cichlid compatibility

[Mbuna12]

What sort of cichlids complement each other?specifically African cichlids,also are some species aggressive towards particular species?

Yellow labs and acei always turn out nice together and the same with many many more. And yes to the second question labidochromis doesnt normally do well with.other labidochromis. Cynotalapia shouldnt be with other cynotalapia, because most of them look way to much alike. Your best bet is to make a stock list and ask if we see anything wrong with it.

Discus and cichlids is as far as I know unexplored territory.keep him isolated until healed.its hard to say whether or not the discus will hurt him or he'll hurt the discus.perhaps to stem the aggression add more hiding places. Also after he heals if it happens again isolate the perpetrators in large net breeders so that they don't feel victorious in defeating an enemy which is how they feel when you remove the victim.sort of like fishy time out. If nothing work get rid of the victim or the perps.preferably the perps.
