    south american cichllids are about 3000 times more aggressive then african. Oscars and Snakeheads even bichirs will rape african cichlids. i have a 125 gallon south american and african cichlid tank and they mix perfectly well. in general there is no problem with mixing the 2 it depends on the fishes mentallity. and you need a a bigger tank for clown loaches they get giant

    discusfish are best to keep in tanks for their own,maybe in company of some Corydoras and little salmons like Cardinal-tetra’s.

    Part 3:
    Asia:
    Only on Madagaskar and in a certain area of India are some cichlids,they are a family for their own,and should live in a fish-tank where their habitat is imitated!
    South-America:
    Soo many species of cichlids,including the angelfihs and discus.
    the last two ones can be kept together in some cases…

    Africa:
    West-Africa
    Central-Africa
    LakeTanganyika
    Lake Malawi
    Lake Victoria
    Don’t keep them together…
    They all belong in their own habitat,and then dont even forget to put cichlids from Lake Malwi in their own habitat,that means,rock-dwelling cichlids in a tank for their own,and the cichlids that live just half on the rocks in another habitat,and i don’t even speak from cichlids that live in much deeper water,or further away form the shore,and not at the rocks…

    Why would you put a Clown Loach in a South American Cichlid tank when C. Loaches are from Indonesia? I am sure they will get along but it seems you would keep it as natural as possible.
