Avoid with
Pairings that fail the temperament, water-overlap or known-conflict checks.
- Tropheusmin tank 75 gal
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; no pH overlap (5-7 vs 8-9).
- African Cichlids (Mbuna)min tank 55 gal
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; no pH overlap (5-7 vs 7.8-8.6).
- Red Tailed Black Sharkmin tank 55 gal
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; temperature overlap 79°F is too narrow.
High risk of conflict between semi-aggressive and aggressive species; no temperature overlap (79-86°F vs 68-77°F).
