I currently have yellow labs, red zebra in a tank looking to add a blue fish, what you recommend?
thinking the cobalt blue zebra reaching 7" is not what I want to do

Re: blue mbuna?
What are the dimensions of the tank? You don't want two Metriaclima species with both red zebras (Metriaclima estherae) and blue zebras (Metriaclima callainos).

I recommend Cynotilapia sp. hara or Pseudotropheus socolofi.

Great suggestion. Personally I prefer the hara, but either would be a nice addition to your tank.

Second on the hara. I have a group of hara with yellow labs in my 40 long, great combination. Hara males are super stunning. Socolofi are nice too though.
