Does anyone keep Cyrtocara Moorii with Mbuna?

Yo, yo yo ******es.

Ahem...

All going well with the tank. Water changes are a joy with my new Ehim pump. Changing 30% a week. All fish doing great. Seen a lot of sexy action from the Labs, Rustys, Afra and Moori but no-one holding or anything like that - sadly.

So I was wanting to add that final elusive group...and I want something RED/orange.

These have been recommened, noting that I want to keep to the 'nicer' end of the scale...

A. Jacobfreibergi (perhaps the only Auloncara that is ok with Mbuna?)
Firefish (stunning looking fish, can't find any info about temperment - any help?)
Johanni
Saulosi
Tropheus Red Cheek

What do you reckon?

If I had to pick on looks alone it would be the Firefish, but don't know anything about it apart from it is line bread.

Syno and Lab

OMG...Food...or someone has just walked past the tank?

Newly created 'Mbuna Cove' (with hidden skull that I got when I was 5 years old for my Goldfish Bowl - hey, I was 5, it was 100 years ago. I got a larger tank like a year later :lol: ).

Hump starting to get bigger...

The beautiful BOSS of the tank.

Hi, Kop!
I want to clarify something first: You mentioned Tropheus, but those are Tangs not for your tank; I'm sure what you mean is Tropheops Red Cheek, males are blue with black bars and yellow orange face; females are light yellow with dark marks on body.
I would go with a group of 5 Melanochromis johannii (1M/4F); these females are beautiful yellow almost orange colored and the dark colored male makes a nice contrast.
The problem with peacocks is that females are dull colored.

Yeah dude, sorry about that. But you knew what I meant.

Don't know which way I'm going to go yet, if at all.
