Alright, I had this in another post...S American vs African...but the thread went dry so I'll try to repost it here.

I have been debating between African and South American Cichlids for a while now. And I figured out that if I went with South American, I'm left with nothing but Convict cichlids.

I've decided on getting Peacock cichlids. What I was wondering was, is there any special treatment the water needs for these fish?

Is there any way to differentiate between male and female or no?

Also, can I keep them with the types of fish shown in the thread before this, Identify This? I believe they are just assorted African Cichlids.

Finally, it is a 35g, so how many would I be able to keep in there?
(I believe they are peacock, they might also be listed as jewel cichlids)
