Adog,

Jewel fish, Hemichromis are from east Africa, where they live in rivers, and many call them African Riverene Cichlids. They do not do well with Rift Lake Cichlids, from Malawi or Tanganyika, they have different water requirements as well as different diets. For the most tranquill setting, it is best to utilize fish that are from all the same area, where conditions are similar and they may even habitate together in the wild. These make the best community tanks.
