| would a 180g be able to house certain africans with south americans and central american cichlids if you left plenty of hiding spots and would you be able to mix a wide variety? like maybe some rams, blood parrots (our LFS has yellow and red ones, would like 1 of each), and say some peacocks and maybe a demasoni

| It's not about the tank size. They shouldn't be mixed because they come from completely different areas, mostly have differing water parameters, have different dietary needs, have different habitats, have different ways of interacting and socializing...it just isn't a good idea. |

| If you do your research and be selective, you can mix some South Americans with some Centrals. Something like a severum - which is South - would do okay in a tank with some firemouths - which are Central. |
