- In general I don't beleive in mixing Africans and Americans when it comes
- to Cichlids. As far as Green Terrors and Red Devils, they didn't get those

- I have seen major problems just mixing Red Devils with anything. Mix them
- with Green Terrors and I am sure that you have recipe for disaster.
-
- The other to consider is that both Green Terrors and Red Devils can get
- quite large. I have feeling that they would eat your blue Zebras if
- they set their mind to eat.

- I have mixing Plecos and Cichlids for several years and never had
- a problem. I figure that you should be OK.
