I know some people don't agree with putting American cichlids with African cichlids so I'd like to hear everyone's experiences with doing this. I follow a bunch of people on Instagram who keep mixed tanks successfully and was wondering if I should try. My (what I'm assuming female) firemouth has been stressed out in all of my american tanks (3)... I've tried her with a bunch of different fish as well as in her own tank... then got her a male to see if that helped... I've done so much research on the internet and changed her environment... nothing I do works. The male firemouth is holding his own in the tank though. I currently have them both in a 55 gal with the fish that the female firemouth grew up with (this tank will be upgraded to 90 gal in few weeks!). A male green terror and a female convict. The tank has plenty of hiding spots and water parameters are always perfect (water tested often). So I'd like to try both the firemouth in with the Africans which is a 75 gallon tank with: (most are still small)
1x M yellowtail acei
2x F red zebra (they are orange)
1x M peacock (largest in tank currently)
1x F peacock

1x Nimbochromis venustus/giraffe hap
