I've decided to go with African Lake Tananyika Cichlids. Here is what I have in mind:

*1 Altolamprologus calvus
*1 Julidochromis marlieri
*1 Neolamprologus brichardi
*1 Tropheus moorii
*3 Skunk Loaches

For filtration I have a Fluval 304, and I have many River Rocks of all sizes piled up and some driftwood peices.

Do you think this setup will work?
Should I make any changes? The fish are not bought yet.
 
its a 46 gallon bowfront

I was thinking of doing a Calvus community with a syno. catfish, since they do best in groups, how many would you recommend?
 
that could work expept for the tropheus. in mine right now i have a julie and a brichardi and frontosa and its cool. yeah i know the frontosa needs a huge tank, but it will take a while.

im about to get 3 calvus and 2 more julies for my 50
 
As long as you kept it to single specimines that would work with the leluepi not the tropheus. Calvus don't necessarily do better in a group but they do better in a trio because males are rough on the females.
 
I picked up a 2 calvus, 1 compreccicept (spelling?), and 5 juliochromis mareli (will be a pair once I find a compatible mates, I 'll take the other 3 back).

I'm gona pick up a syno. eupterus today.

These fish are so cool, they seem like they are always looking for food around the tank.
