Like Bowdy said it depends what you are wanting to mix.

I have all those in my tank plus a lot more,
Never had a issue with any of them. I actually have more issues with the cuckoo catfish fighting with each other than any cross species fighting
(6x2x2 tank, approx 50fish in there atm)

Both tangs and malawis have large and small species amoungst them, tangs mostly do like more alkaline water but can still happily live in Malawi water. I have trets in my Malawi display, there very slow growing and don't grow huge but have happily lived there for 2 years

Why stop at 2 ,I mix all 3 lakes. have done so for about 8 yrs now, just got to put a bit of thought into it. Different shapes, colour, living zones, compatibility, feeding and so on. I say go for it, their water parameters aren't that different, I just aim for something around the middle PH 8.4. cheers Steve
