A friend recently asked me whether it was possible to keep rainbows with
African cichlids, particularly the more peaceful ones, such as Labidochromis
Caruleus (Electric Yellows) and Haplochromis Moori (Blue Dolphin). I know
these African cichlids are kept in fairly hard water and ph values of 8+.
Has anyone had any experience with mixing rainbows with Africans such as the
above, and if so, what species can tolerate these water conditions? The
possible ones that come to my mind include Lacustris and Incisus. I have
also seen in Heinz Staude's shop, aquariums with Trifasciatas and Inornata
mixed with Africans.
