    I have rainbow and redtail sharks as well as loaches with my african cichlids, I keep the ph around 7.4-7.6 for the cichlids and its not to high for the sharks. As for aggressiveness the sharks tend to get attitudes during feeding time and chase the cichlids but they all really do very well together

    When shark waves his tail, it will definantly be bitten off by the african cichlids. I used to put my 1.5 inches flowerhorn into a tank with minnows and 3 inches iridescent shark, it first bit off minnows' fins+kill them, then starred at the shark for 4 seconds, a suddenly attack on my ir shark, so i removed the shark from the tank right away.

    Most likely they would kill the shark. There are some dif types of sharks and catfish that could work though. Sorry I forget the names of the two i kno of.

    synodontis catfish are a better choice with cichlids and there unique looking too.
