What Fish Go Togehter

[radioman]

Can all semi aggressive fish go together, all cichlids go together or can you combine them?

i have a pretty multi cultural tank.. and i have both community and semi.. (even tho the semis arent that bad )


so why not, if you can provide each ones needs

Not all Cichlids can be kept together as they can be quite territorial. What type did you have in mind?

 

[tanafish]

a good rule is cichlids with cichlids, because they tend to be a little more than semi aggressive, and then it brakes down to size, i wouldn't keep a large semi aggressive fish with a tiny community fish. Semi-aggressive only means "i will eat fish that fit in my mouth" and community fish could care less

Semi-aggressive only means "i will eat fish that fit in my mouth"

Sorry, but that is not quite true. Even generally peaceful fish labeled as community will eat fish that are small enough to fit in their mouth. Semi-aggressive can mean a variety of things. Some "semi-aggressive" fish are usually only aggressive towards their own kind or fish that look similar. Gourami's are a good example of fish that are usually aggressive towards their own kind.
