Just a few questions on the red jewel cichlid. Can you keep three females together in a 160 litre tank and what is the species we have in new Zealand. Do they swim at all levels in the tank. Also if you only have females can you then have other fish in with them and what sort? Thanks for any replies. Just figuring out what fish I want for my tank.

Sure.

and what is the species we have in new Zealand.

Hemichromis Bimaculatus, I believe. Though, looking just now my current two look more Lifalili? Though, I'm pretty sure all the ones I've had(And have) were Hemichromis Lesbialus. All female, still tried to breed...

Do they swim at all levels in the tank.

Mostly mid to lower levels.

Also if you only have females can you then have other fish in with them and what sort?

Yeah, anything quick or relatively tough should be ok.
