ive got a cichlid set-up...its a tanganyika set-up but ive just discovered that some of the fish are malawi cichlids.....the lfs told me they were tanganyika's

thing is....they're okay together and theres no fighting.....so should i split them or are they okay together?.......i dont think i could bear gettin rid of any of them

You should have done some research before hand but just keep your eye on them... its probably wise to keep them both apart...

I am sure that if they are not fighting or causing trouble in your tank, then they should be fine together. It's Firemouth Cichlids I would be wary of. In my case, they were always mean to my Oscars.... I used to keep Oscars with just about every different kind of cichlid....Nothing ever went wrong with them. I am sure they will be fine.

this just goes to show you can't always trust your lfs, but in their defence i don't think you'll ever hear one say they are an expert.
