How is my stocking?

Agreed i do not see any brichardi's as well, all mbuna mostly zebras, yellow labs and maybe a socolofi..
 
Same as most Mbunas. They're still vegetarians and need lots of vegetable and algae in their diet. You'd want to stock them pretty heavily. Coler's stocking advice still fits well for your setup. The fish you have do not appear to be the more aggressive of the Mbuna family, but sets of 3 with 1 male to 2-3 females would still be your best bet.

:iagree:. Some good cichlid veggie flakes and pellets like those of NLS, are 2 good foods for them. Feed twice daily, the amount they can consume in no more than 2 minutes for each meal.
Review page #1 of this thread, there you have the most important aspects related with stocking.
 
Melanochromis Auratus - nasty buggers. Quite pretty when young - if yours is more yellow than brown it may be still young. Adult males are complete jerks and are more than capable of killing off a lot of other stock. I would say keep a very close eye on it and at the first sign of trouble, rehome. To be honest, they are easier to shift when yellow and I personally would therefore offer it for free to the LFS right now if I had to.
