      Hey! I wouldn't unless it's a very big tank and a large community of cichlids. I find Polleni to be fairly aggressive and they have teeth!! Both Frotnosa and Severums are much milder in temperament.

    Do you think they could get along in a mixed American tank with severum, eb acara, jack Dempsey & a green terror, and a solo jewel? My mixed tank is super chill but would hold their own. Or should I put him in the peacock mbuna tank?

      Dang that's a lot of tanks to work with!! I would try different combos and see how it goes. Typically, I would always either keep similar fish together or just over crowd and do lots of water changes and decor rearranges weekly.

    How big do they get? What's their aggression like?

    • @kylelovesfish
      @kylelovesfish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey! Thanks for watching!! They get about 8-12" and they are a bit aggressive. You can see mine in a community tank did well but as with most cichlids that grow teeth (yes, this sp has real sharp teeth) as they grow into their full size they often need really big tanks and other tough tank mates. I'd keep them with large American cichlids once they reach the 6-8" mark.

      @@kylelovesfish Thanks for the reply 👍🏻 What cichlids would you say their aggression matches with and what American cichlid tank mates do you think would be suitable for this cichlid?

    • @kylelovesfish
      @kylelovesfish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd say they are like a JD, Oscar, Midas, GT, Texas and others like that. Those are good matches too if you got a big enough tank. I'd keep them in a community tank with other large fish and cichlids.

    • @kylelovesfish
      @kylelovesfish  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! It really depends on the type of cichlids you want to keep. I would say a 55 gallon tank is the minimum to get started for most species if you are going to get 10. Bigger is always better! What type of fish are you thinking about getting?
