Sash Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 No i would not say so. I did that when i first got into fish.maybe if your cichlids are small but when they start to mature and make territories and such they get aggresive. Like even if they did at the beggining down the track its not going to work. Sorry Sash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 african cichlids are notorious fin nippers.id take them out,take them back to the store and make sure they give you your money back due to it being poor information in the first place that led to this problem.

MattR Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 not only that but silver dollars are american..africans are...well...african...so totally different water parametres. SD's are also a large schooling fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
