are jewel chilids compatable with malawi chilids?
Answer Hi Jo, No, Malawi cichlids would be too aggressive to combine with jewel cichlids. For best results in a cichlid community, stay within the same geographic region. For example, Malawi cichlids with Malawi cichlids, Tanganyikan cichlids with Tanganyikan cichlids, etc. You can try rams or dwarf apistogrammas with jewel cichlids, kribensis might also work. It depends greatly on what sized tank you have. If you have a 75 gallon tank, you can do big cichlids like firemouths or severums with jewel cichlids. If you have a 20 gallon tank, jewel cichlids might be all you have room for, except for middwelling fish like tetras. I hope that helps, take care! Nicole P.S.
