For an example of lack of uniqueness, I know of three very different cichlids that are known by the same common name of flag cichlid: the festivum (Mesonauta festiva), the curviceps (Laetacara curviceps), and the angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare).
They'll also coexist, space permitting, with the likes of Apistogramma Dwarf Cichlids (some of which wild Lemon Tetras share their native waters with), and get on very well with peaceful Cichlids such as Flag Cichlids and Anomalochromis thomasi.
