my PH is 7.8....are CA/SA cichlids out of the question?

Most CA cichlids come from lakes with moderately hard, slightly alkaline water. SA cichlids prefer neutral to slightly acidic PH. A PH in the high 7's is perfect...

I'm keeping a Midas pair and a Convict cichlid in a tank with a PH of 8.2....
