I'm new to Cichlids and looking for some feedback on stocking the tank. Here are the details on the tank:
75g, silicate sand substrate, two 300w heaters, one Polar Aurora Canister filter (525gph), a week or two away from being cycled.
This is the list of fish I am considering:
Yellow labs 1m:4f
Albino Socolofi 1m:4f
Acei 1m:4f
Maingano 1m:4f
Other species I like:
Cynotilapia Zebroides Cobue
Psuedotropheus Saulosi
Johanni
Demasoni
I know I need to stick to 3, maybe 4 species max in the tank shooting for 15-20 mbunas total. I really like the look of the Maingano/Johanni/Demasoni. It seems the Maingano might be the most peaceful of the three?
I'm interested in hearing any option for a red/orange color that could be substituted in the above list.
I know the Socolofi might be a bit of a wild card? More aggressive? Looking for any suggestions you all might have on this list and the ratios of M:F. Open to feedback on the tank as well.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Stocking Beginner Mbuna 75 Gallon
The first stocking looks fine (including socolofi), except stock 1m:7f on the maingano.
If you want to swap out something for orange, I would remove yellow labs and add Metriaclima estherae.
Don't put them both in the same tank as they cross breed.
