No automatic safety blocker was found.
Electric Yellow Cichlid and Least Killifish receive a conditional verdict from the current structured assessment. Electric Yellow Cichlid is recorded as semi-aggressive with an aggression level of 5/10; Least Killifish is recorded as peaceful with an aggression level of 1/10. The recommendation is based on the combined water, space, behavior, grouping, and predation checks below rather than on species names alone.
Electric Yellow Cichlid has a recorded temperature range of 73–79°F and pH range of 7.8–8.9. Least Killifish is recorded at 68–78°F and pH 6.5–8. Their shared planning window is 73–78°F for temperature and 7.8–8 for pH. A shared aquarium must stay inside the overlap rather than merely touching each species’ outer tolerance.
Electric Yellow Cichlid sets the larger listed base aquarium requirement at 55 gallons; the other listed minimum is 5 gallons. Electric Yellow Cichlid is the larger adult by the recorded maximum, reaching 5 inches, compared with 1.2 inches. These figures are starting constraints, not a stocking-capacity calculation, because the complete group sizes and bioload still matter.
Electric Yellow Cichlid is a moderate species associated with the mid zone and moderate flow. Least Killifish is moderate, uses the top zone, and has a moderate flow preference. Electric Yellow Cichlid should be planned as a group of at least 4, while least killifish should be planned as a group of at least 6. The aquarium must support both social structures without forcing either species into insufficient space.
Electric Yellow Cichlid is recorded as a omnivore with intermediate care, while Least Killifish is a omnivore with intermediate care. Their listed preferred tank styles are rockwork and planted. Feeding access, cover, open swimming room, filtration, and observation should be planned around the more demanding requirement rather than averaged between the two species.
Use these pair-specific boundaries before treating the verdict as an acceptable stocking plan.
