I'm sorry, but I totally disagree with a lot of these on the table. I can't remember all of them now that the image has gone, but a couple i remember : tetra and angelfish are fine? so long as the tetra are feeder fish....and malawi cichlids and tanganican, only caution required? malawis are much more agressive and take up the space that the tanganicans would require. Tanganicans are so much more shy that they wouldnt get any of the necassary food.

those are just two. just a word of warning to double check anything on these tables prior to purchasing - im sure there are a few more mistakes.

I am totally new to cichlid keeping and while I know of people who have successfully kept mixed tanks ( cichlids from diffient lakes together ), it is not something most keepers would advise.

There is always an exception to the rule though - I have an angel with my parrot cichlid, 2 gourami, 2 red tail black sharks, a clown loach, a betta and a little tetra. All do great together and no aggression etc whatsoever and been like that for 3 years

I thought this might have more actual information on fish care but now I really feel I must stick up for MHA as our Woking branch has an EXCELLENT team of guys they all know loads about the fish and will all refuse sales if they don't think they will be cared for etc properly.
I have been given so much help and advice from them since we got our tanks a few years ago and trust them completely. I know that there sadly are many other MHA And the equivalent shops that have rubbish and useless employees but seriously ours is 100% not one of them you can always buy with confidence and to boot many if not all of them have tanks and take a large interest and practice in the hobby themselves
