This what I usually try do with my tanks.fugupuff;4701105; said:
Then go with Orinos, They get some of the brightest and beautiful colors of all the Cichla and they tend to grow at a similar rate to the Kelberi. Just dont power feed them... The best part about Cichla is watching them grow and gain new colors every week anyways... So in a year or two when the Cichla start to get a little crowded in your tank you can sell them or give them away and start over 
To answer your question, Yes they work well together. May I also add, the Fronts were not wild.

thank you. soo its been done before. if i get fronts they wont be wild. i think its gona have to be one or the other though because of the PH. i dont want any issues with that.
Usually, Local fish stores don't really bother with "right" PH ( Again, wild or not. Depending on LFS and so on. Some take good care of their fish, yet some don't.) . It's consistency that counts (IMO). Playing with PH will either stress the fish, or kill it from PH shock. It's really up to you. But, yes Fronts and Pbass works. Been doing it for the last 3 years.
I have fronts in a tank with my SA/CA cichlids right now.

Messing with pH is worse because of potential pH swings. Most fish will do very well in pH that is not the same as their native homes. It's the stability of the pH that matters.
What type of peacock bass have you kept with fronts?
