I had a tank with adult veija and added adult Checleus that worked out fine.
Tried with some juvie's and had a disaster.
Growing out some fish in a 55g.
Group of juvi cichlids below , 2-3 , inch.
Added School of Chelceus 2-2.5 inch.
I thought the Chalceus woud be fine as could not fit in the cichlids mouth.
Next day 6 dead Chalceus, they mostly ate the eyes.
I relocated the cichlids.
Darienheros Calobrense
Ex Cichlasoma Istlanum
Paraneetroplus Gibbiceps
Vieja Synspilum "Belize"
Vieja Argentea
When Chichlids and Chalceus grow to adults in separate tanks, would putingt them I the same tank recreate the previous disaster?
I am concerned that the fish that snacked on eyes before will do so again.
