Well as long as the African is bigger than the tiger. In my mixed tank the boss is the cobalt but after that it would be a tie with my tiger Oscar and black convict but I have setup 3 different worlds for them on one tank. One part stone cave. One part rocks plants hiding places all over. A lot of long plants so they can hide. But I have monitored them religiously when I mixed to make sure rhey all get along. I haven't lost one yet or seen major injury..I treat them great..I'm getting really deep into the hobby now that I'm the first customer almost at the lfs to get first dibs on the fish selections.. did u guys do that or do that now or is it just me..I goto every petsmart within 20 mile radius and get ones that r unique every weds
Ok, I'll be blunt; African rift lake cichlids should NOT be mixed with SA/CA cichlids. Eventually one type or another will suffer. They have different water and dietary needs. I'd suggest getting "deep into the hobby" and re-evaluating. Good luck with your fish.
