Aquarium Advice FINatic
I've just setup my new 90G tank and will be moving my other SA cichlids in (keyholes, checkerboards, and bolivians). I'm thinking about firemouth cichlids, but am not convinced that it will be a good mix.
I've read a lot of profiles for the fish that state that they would be fine with the keyholes. In their native habitat they would co-habitate with wild mollies and platys, so they should be docile enough for other SA cichlids.
I know that if they spawn it would be a different story, but they should have enough space in a 90G to have a little fit and everyone would still have enough space to hid/get-away.
Does anyone have any experience with mixing firemouths with other fish?
