I seen few videos on YouTube where people have kept them. I have African Cichlids. Can I put tetras with them? I don't mean neons tetras. I mean something little big than neons like size of barbs.
 
Like what?? Have you researched larger tetras you'd like to keep? Rosy barbs would be a worthwhile test subject.. theyre a dollar or two a piece. Congo tetras get bigger but I wouldn't run a test with those...

I have a Kribensis cichlid with lemon tetras, cardinal tetras, platys, and Celebes rainbows and everyone is doing just fine.
 
What species of African cichlids do you have? I would feel reasonably putting tetras in with my Tanganyikan cichlids, but would never consider putting them in my Malawi tank.
 
Balloon mollies?? They'd appreciate the parameters and kind of resemble a tiger barb.

Will they be fine? I also have puffers in tank. Mbunas and puffers.
