:iagree:...Great advice!!! You know, 4 Cynotilapia afra of the Cobue or Jalo Reef variant can make it in that tank; but 4 is the limit and remember to add ONLY one male and 3 females. The other problem here is that females of this species are not so colorful as males are; so you will have only one colorful fish in the tank: the male.
 
Not sure if this has been said but why not get a longer tank (30 gallon long preferable) and get some Shelldwellers. In my opinion, I think that'd be so much more interesting than a few big fish. I like mbunas, in colonies in bigger tanks! :D
 
You are right, blue! That's why I said C. afra of those 2 variants specifically. BTW blue, your comments 5 posts back were very appropriate.
