Avoid with
Pairings that fail the temperament, water-overlap or known-conflict checks.
- Skunk Loachmin tank 30 gal
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; no temperature overlap (72-77°F vs 79-86°F).
- African Cichlids (Mbuna)min tank 55 gal
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; temperature overlap 76-77°F is too narrow; no pH overlap (6-7.5 vs 7.8-8.6).
- Flowerhorn Cichlidmin tank 70 gal
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; no temperature overlap (72-77°F vs 80-86°F).
- Tropheusmin tank 75 gal
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; temperature overlap 77°F is too narrow; no pH overlap (6-7.5 vs 8-9).
- Oscar Fishmin tank 55 gal
