Ok, just bought a pair of electric yellow cichlids, and I was wondering what other cichlids could I put in there with them? I have a 55 gallon tank and the 2 I have now are still small like 1” ??
You can keep about 10-12 total of any other following African Cichlids, inclduding yours, figuring they will all mature at about 5-6 inches. Make sure they are all about the same size when introduced.
Kribensis
Red zebras
Compresssiceps
African Yellow
Orange Plossom Peacock
Podwr Blue
Red Peacock
Taiwan Reef
Blue Dolphin Cichlid -a standout
Demasoni- another standout
outue Dolphins ans Demasoni offer colcor conrteas, so do Peacocks, Compressiceps and Blur Dolphins offer different shapes. .
They all need hiding rocls and spaces to get away from eah oterh. If you had 2 of each of the baove the adults would need 100 gallon tank, so you have to choose. Blue Dolphins are really spectacular and the Peacocks off color contrast. Syndonotis catfish do well with all of these.
