Caution: Use the above chart, and information as a guide line only. Individual results may vary.
Additional General Compatability Rules:
Do not mix cichlids that look very similar in color in the same gensis; such as: Aulocara Benga, Carolinae, Contratus, Flavescens, Freibergi, Lwanda, etc.
Nor should Cichlids from different genesis that look similar in color be mixed in a community tank; such as: Pseudotropheus Barlowi, Pseudotropheus Daktari, and Petrotilapia Nkhata Orange, etc.
More than one Male of the same type will rarely work in any Aquarium. Ocassionally a dominate male will tolerate a sub-dominate male; but, only the dominate male will reach full color.
One or more females of the same type as a male, in the same tank, will help to acheive the maximum color from the male.
In order for cichlids to spawn, keep at least two, or three females, per one of same type male, in the same tank.
