Mixing african and american cichlids, and cichlid water parameters

[kqui9357]

I just bought a 120 tank. I wanted to know what African cichlids would get along with blood parrots and possibly firemouths. I have not bought any fish yet buy I am curious

Wondering how mixing my larger Salvini with a bunch of Mbuna?..The Sal is pretty calm mostly, but anything that comes near it, he doesn't enjoy anyones company at all..so wondering if this could be a bad idea or not..

mbuna include Demasoni's, 1 brichardi (tang) few labs, rustys, and a peppered cory cat.

I would love to see some tank shots of mixed tanks.

FYI - severum, chocolate, congo tetras, SAEs and a senegal bicher.... I'm a mixer I guess.

I mix and have had great luck, I have 4 mbunas, 2 venustus, 2 senegals, Oscar, jack Dempsey, and festae all in a 150 and no fish is under 4" with the Oscar clocking in around 8" I'd take pictures but my phone is broke sorry:/

I just added a colony of frontosas to my 150g. There is 2 blood parrot, gymno balzani, jurupari, and a PAIR of FIREMOTHS (small). The FM's tormented the hell out of the entire colony of frontosas. The FM's were rehomed after an incredibly long capture. Everyone gets along great except for the FM's. Good luck with them.
