Yeah we need to ID the african cichlid. The auratus you have will end up being VERY aggressive and limits what else you can add.

The african looks like a cobalt blue zebra.

I think you need to get more mbuna. If it was me I would rehome the auratus and jewels and get some yellow labs and more blue zebras.

Well there may end up being problems down the road with the auratus and jewels. It would help if you researched some different mbuna species so you can figure out the best way to stock your tank.
