I currently have an African Cichlid 55 gal. tank. I do understand that you should generally not mix Africans and S. Americans. However, my fish are big. I am not totally good with the names so please excuse. I have a very large (5-6 inch) African which is blue/green near the head, and kind of camo in the back. Then I have (2) yellow w/ dark stripes (bumble bee?) that are about 4". Next is a light solid blue African around 4". Then there is a 3.5" orange African. For cleaning purposes, I have (2) 4" white tip cat fish, and a 3" pleco. I can't really add a small fish or a non-aggressive fish. I was thinking of adding one more fish, and I really like the color of the S. American red tiger. Please advise if this is a horrible idea.
