Im setting up a 90 gallon (so excited ) and im having trouble deciding on a third group of fish to add to the tank. So far i have

7 yellow lab cichlids (2m/5fm)
7 acei (2m/5fm)

Then i dont know what to add. I found Cynotilapia Afra Gallereya Reef F1 at around 2" for 6 of them for 50 shipped and im wondering if these fish will get along with the ones mentioned along? Also will they cross breed or no?

I was also debating the idea of weather to get Cynotilapia Afra "Hai Reef" instead of the Cyno. gallereya. Which one would you do? I think the cyno. afra callereya are more white and would look nice with yellow abd blue fish. thanks guys and gals!

Hey bro i wouldnt add the acei there peaceful but they get big.

The Cynotilapia sp. hara (they are not an afra) would do fine with acei and labs. They are a little too close to the color of acei for me, but should not fight or crossbreed.

Here is the final stocking plan. I found a member who can hook me up with some Pseudotropheus Acei, Itungi(AKA Tanzania Black) so thats gonna be my acei.

7 yellow lab cichlids
7 Pseudotropheus Acei, Itungi(AKA Tanzania Black)
7 Cynotilapia Afra Gallereya Reef F1 "Blue Afra"

I am still considering Cynotilapia hara, Jalo Reef but i think the above combination looks better.

Here are pictures of the acei and cyno. afra gallereya

I know they get 6" but they should be okay since the tank is 18"W and i will be using a sump and live plants to keep nitrates down.

7 yellow lab cichlids
7 Pseudotropheus Acei, Itungi(AKA Tanzania Black)
7 Cynotilapia Afra Gallereya Reef F1 "Blue Afra"

I think this sounds like a great stocklist. Nice color contrasts.

As DJRansome mentioned, the most up-to-date name for "Cynotilapia Afra Gallereya Reef 'Blue Afra'" is "Cynotilapia sp. Hara (Gallereya)"

will this be a peaceful set up or will i get haras fighting a lot?

 

[DJRansome]

Well all the fish you chose are mbuna...so they will squabble. I would expect the hara to be the most aggressive, but still not by much. As long as you have one male and four females I would not expect deaths or more violence than the occasional fin nip.
