I'm looking to add a 4th Mbuna species to finish out the stocking I'd like it to be a different color than my current species. I was thinking about Rusties but the females look pretty blan, would like a species that has decent looking females. Also a species that is pretty common and not something rare (expensive) and to find.
I'd say red zebras, but they'll hybridize with your yellow labs. They're common, though. How about albino socolofi? I don't really like albino fish, but a number of people here tend to be fond of them and recommend them.
As far as the white top hara go, you could run into the "expensive" constraint there. I searched for quite a while just to find some (all the popular online sites were out except one that had only males for outrageous prices). I did find juvies finally, but still, shipping and price got up there. If you go white tops, PM me.
I don't find rusty females to be bland. Maybe they dont show the purple hue, but they still have the orange/rust coloration like the males. I think they would work well with your other species.

Yes I really like the male Rusty coloration, I will try and find some, seem to be rare in my area right now. There is I member on a local forum that has a holding female, but obviously it would be a while to get those fry.
